Saturday, November 22 — Rising jazz pianist and vocalist Quintin Harris brings the timeless elegance of old New York to Alpharetta, delivering a sophisticated night of swing, standards, and fresh arrangements.
A Rising Star with an Old Soul
Quintin Harris may be a young talent on the New York City jazz scene, but his sound is steeped in the rich history of the genre. A pianist, vocalist, and composer, Harris channels the charm and sophistication of the golden age of jazz lounges. Critics have praised his “smooth baritone” vocals and his ability to make the Great American Songbook feel both authentic and thrillingly current.
His musical journey began early—he made his professional stage debut at age five! Since then, he has honed his craft at the prestigious William Paterson University, studying under jazz giants like Aaron Diehl and his longtime mentor, the Grammy-winning pianist Bill Charlap.
The Art of the Trio
This performance features The Quintin Harris Trio, a tight-knit ensemble known for their refined arrangements and deep musical connection. Harris is not just a pianist; he is a storyteller at the keys and on the microphone.
Expect a repertoire that pays homage to legends like Oscar Peterson, Nat “King” Cole, and Ahmad Jamal, blended with Harris’s own unique artistic voice. Whether swinging hard or delivering a tender ballad, the trio creates an atmosphere of warmth and “old New York” elegance that is rarely found today.
An Intimate Night of Timeless Jazz
The Velvet Note’s acoustic living room setting is the perfect venue for this kind of performance. You’ll be close enough to appreciate the nuance of Harris’s touch on the keys and the subtle interplay between the musicians.
If you love the classic piano-trio sound, the romance of standards, and discovering the next generation of jazz greats, this is a show you cannot miss.
