Allan Harris has reigned as one of the most accomplished and exceptional singers of his generation since he burst on the jazz scene in the latter part of the twentieth century. The Brooklyn-born, Harlem-based artist was aptly described by the Miami Herald as blessed with, “the warmth of Tony Bennett, the bite and rhythmic sense of Sinatra, and the sly elegance of Nat King Cole.” The evidence of his moving and magisterial artistry can be heard on his 14 recordings as a leader and his far-flung and critically acclaimed concerts around the world. His numerous awards include the New York Nightlife Award for “Outstanding Jazz Vocalist,” the Bistro Award for “Ongoing Achievement in Jazz,” the DownBeat Critics Poll Award for “Rising Star Jazz Vocalist,” the Hot House Magazine “Jazz Vocalist of the Year Award,” and the Harlem Speaks “Jazz Museum of Harlem Award.” In addition, Harris was recently awarded third place in the Sarah Vaughan International Vocal Competition. He has been heralded by The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, Glide Magazine, Jazz Times, DownBeat, Vintage Guitar, and many more, Mr. Harris is a real storyteller through authentic interpretations of the American Songbook, classic and contemporary jazz, popular standards, blues and originals. www.allanharris.com
