Algemeen. Op 20 oktober 2007 organiseerde Verzekeraar Octantdirect (SNS Regio Bank) in samenwerking met Fabulous Sound of the Sixties en Bert Bossink een jaren-60 avond in het sfeervolle Jacobi-Theater te Utrecht. Hoogtepunt van de avond was een optreden van de allereerste en bekendste basgitarist van de Shadows, Jet Harris (o.a. Apache, Livin'doll).Tevens was hij de bedenker van de naam: "The Shadows" (voorheen The Drifters).
Als gevolg van het grote succes volgde er op zaterdag 18 april een tweede concert, nu met de Engelse opvolgers van The Shadows "The Rapiers".

Jet’s brand new album ‘The Journey’ is now out and available to purchase
This exciting new album from Jet Harris is packed with original material, plus a brand new recording of 'Diamonds',recorded on a de-tuned Fender, as in the original recording in 1963. Also featured, along with the other brand new material, is the very moving 'Song for Tony',which pays tribute to Jet's old sparring partner, the late Tony Meehan. To play it safe and record an album of ‘old hits’ would have been too easy, and Jet feels that recording this album has given him the chance to express totally his musical diversities in the same way that he did when it all started. Rebellious, innovative and never afraid to break the rules. That’s what it was like then, and that’s the way we wanted it NOW!
Sometimes the atmosphere in the studio was so electric, Jet said it took him back to those thrilling days of the very first recordings. Jet and the team thoroughly enjoyed making this album and we hope you all enjoy the results.This is Jet Harris with attitude! Nothing has changed, just the technology.‘The Journey’ is packed full of original and exciting new tracks with the ‘finale’ exploding in a new production of ‘Diamonds’ played on a detuned Fender, as was done on the original it’s been recorded in D-minor since its first release in 1963.It will be in most of the larger record stores later on in 2008 but for now you will only be able to obtain this direct via the internet.Hope you continue to enjoy the music that Jet and the team produce here.
