About the Artist

The Allan Harris Quartet showcases the velvet-voiced vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, and bandleader Allan Harris—Brooklyn-born, Harlem-based—whose warm timbre, impeccable phrasing, and magnetic stagecraft have earned comparisons to Tony Bennett, Sinatra, and Nat “King” Cole. A “protean talent” (The New York Times) with fourteen leader albums, Harris is a three-time New York Nightlife Award winner for Outstanding Jazz Vocalist, a DownBeat Rising Star, Hot House’s Best Male Jazz Vocalist (two-time), the 2022 Sarah Vaughan International Vocal Competition winner, and a Palmares Award honoree in France. With a book that spans the American Songbook, classic and contemporary jazz, blues, popular standards, and originals, the Quartet delivers elegant swing, soulful ballads, and modern finesse—heard in concert halls, festivals, and clubs worldwide. Harris has shared stages with luminaries including Tony Bennett, Diana Krall, and Natalie Cole, affirming his status as one of today’s most esteemed jazz vocalists.
