Allan Harris: A Luminary in Music

Allan Harris, the Brooklyn-born, Harlem-based vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, and band leader, is a true luminary in the world of music. Revered by the Miami Herald as an artist graced with "the warmth of Tony Bennett, the bite and rhythmic sense of Sinatra, and the sly elegance of Nat 'King' Cole," Allan Harris stands as an embodiment of moving and magisterial artistry.

Poetry of Jazz

"Poetry of Jazz" is where the spoken word gets its groove. Harris, Harlem's own modern-day troubadour, takes classic poetry - from Shakespeare's sonnets to Langston Hughes and the Harlem Renaissance - and drops it into the deep pocket of jazz. With his velvet vocals and magnetic presence, Harris flows between swinging rhythms and soulful recitations, backed by a razor-sharp jazz trio.
