Jet Harris

Terence "Jet" Harris (født 6. juli 1939 i London, død 18. marts 2011) var en engelsk elbassist og den oprindelige bassist i den engelske instrumentalgruppe The Shadows.

Harris navngav gruppen The Shadows, da de ikke kunne beholde deres oprindelige navn The Drifters, grundet den allerede etablerede amerikanske vokalgruppe med samme navn. Han var med fra gruppens start i 1958 indtil april 1962, hvor han forlod gruppen. Han dannede samme år en ny gruppe med trommeslageren Tony Meehan som også havde forladt Shadows året før, og fik et par hits bl.a. "Diamonds" og "Scarlet O'Hara." Han havde gennem årene en masse comebacks, men slog aldrig rigtig igennem som solokunstner. Harris fik et nyt comeback efter år 2000 og kørte med sit band siden. Harris var en af de første elbassister i England .
