Celebrating over 48 years since their founding in 1977, this Grammy-winning New Orleans-based band has taken the traditional foundation of brass band music and incorporated it into a blend of genres, including bebop jazz, funk, and R&B/soul.

Allan Harris

Poetry of Jazz

December's concert feature jazz vocalist Allan Harris in "Poetry of Jazz." 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," Harris stands as an embodiment of moving and magisterial artistry. As Harlem’s own modern-day troubadour, Harris takes classic poetry — from Shakespeare’s sonnets to Langston Hughes and the Harlem Renaissance — and drops it into the deep pocket of jazz. He’ll be joined by his fantastic group of jazz musicians.
