Description

The Quintin Harris Trio (led by NYC-based vocalist and pianist, Quintin Harris) is excited to be returning to Birdland Jazz Club after having a successful sold-out debut in December. The group (with Sam AuBuchon on bass and Marlen Suero-Amparo on drums) found a deeper understanding of this music under the tutelage of their longtime mentor and influence, Bill Charlap. This trio was formed to uphold the tradition of "The Great American Songbook" and their love for the piano trio sound of the Oscar Peterson Trio, Ahmad Jamal Trio, and Sonny Clark Trio, to name a few.

The Quintin Harris Trio is one to watch!

“...a star turn for Mr. Harris…He possesses a rich, lyrical baritone voice. With his fine piano playing and almost dreamy singing, this might have been a hit record in another era.” – Theater Pizzazz

“The trio’s pure instrumental of Henry Mancini’s “Days of Wine and Roses” was a nod to the famous Oscar Peterson arrangement.  Starting with a sizzling bass solo by Sam AuBuchon, the trio “traded fours” and really showed off their chops.” -- Theater Pizzazz

“Quintin Harris...plays piano in the style of Oscar Peterson and many of the other jazz greats.” -- Broadway World
