Allan Harris is one of the great baritone jazz vocalists around who through out his career has always been compared to the legendary Nat King Cole. Recorded live at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., Harris pays tribute to Nat King Cole with this latest release.
Harris sings thirteen jazz standards including the immortal “Unforgettable,” on which if you were to close your eyes and just listen, you could almost hear Nat King Cole come alive through Harris’s voicing of the tune. Other beautiful songs given special treatment here by the singer are, “L-O-V-E,” “The Very Thought of You,” “(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons,” and of course, “Mona Lisa.”
His warmth and vocal elegance lend a certain class to whatever he sings. His renditions of “Nature Boy,” “I’ll Be Seeing You,” and “Walkin’ My Baby Back Home” is rather unique even though they are suppose to sound the way that Cole would have sung them.
Harris records here with bassist Bob Grabowski, pianist Jim Gasior, Larry Marshal on the drums and Jesse Jones on the sax and flute. If you favor jazz vocals and you remember the great Nat King Cole, then listen to Allan Harris as he takes you on a musical journey to the past with a wonderful tribute to one of the greatest singers ever.
