Poetry of Jazz
Allan Harris | Blue LLama Records| Live Album Release July 11

Poetry of Jazz is a powerful new live recording from acclaimed vocalist, guitarist, and composer Allan Harris. Blending timeless poetry with the pulse of modern jazz, this album is a soul-stirring journey through words and music. From Shakespeare to Langston Hughes, from Maya Angelou to Mary Oliver, Harris brings these iconic voices to life, infusing each verse with rhythm, melody, and emotion.

Backed by a dynamic jazz quartet, Harris doesn’t just sing, he interprets, recites, and transforms classic poems into living, breathing performances. Each track is a conversation between literature and improvisation, revealing fresh meaning through jazz’s expressive lens.

Recorded live at the Blue LLama Jazz Club and set for release on July 11, Poetry of Jazz captures the intimacy and immediacy of the moment, inviting listeners to experience the power of language and music intertwined. It’s a celebration of artistic legacy, cultural identity, and the universal truths that connect us all.
