Details
Aptly described by the Miami Herald as an artist blessed with “the warmth of Tony Bennett, the bite and rhythmic sense of Sinatra, and the sly elegance of Nat ‘King’ Cole,” Allan Harris is a Brooklyn-born, Harlem-based vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, and bandleader. With an impressive discography boasting fourteen recordings as a leader, Harris has established himself as one of the jazz world’s most acclaimed vocalists, possessing a potent combination of dynamic vocal abilities, impeccable phrasing, and powerful emotional resonance.
Harris’ Jazz, Poetry & Groove will interpret works from William Shakespeare, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Dylan Thomas, and Maya Angelou for an evening of immortal sonnets, evocative free verse, and swinging improvisation.
