Commenting onAllan Harris' Kennedy Center performance of his Nat King Cole show several seasons back, the Washington Post wrote: "Somewhere along the line Allan Harris developed an almost eerie talent for evoking Cole's mellow baritone. Because it's a gift, not a gimmick, audiences soon become aware that Harris and Cole naturally share the same vocal wavelength."  

Allan Harris (Musical Director) is a world-class singer, guitarist and songwriter.  Perhaps best known for his interpretations of jazz standards, Allan’s smooth vocals and guitar-styling easily crosses genres, from jazz to rock to blues.  Allan Harris has been hailed by the New York Times as "one of the best jazz vocalists of his genre." In 2011, he won the Backstage Bistro Award for "Ongoing Achievement in Jazz."
