Modern Classicist
NYC-based pianist-vocalist Quintin Harris channels the refined elegance of the Great American Songbook with lyrical baritone tones and dynamic trio arrangements.
About

His mentors include GRAMMY-winning pianist Bill Charlap, Aaron Diehl, Geoffrey Keezer, and Ben Paterson. A regular in prominent NYC jazz venues, he was a top-5 finalist in the 2022 American Jazz Pianist Competition and has been nominated for multiple BroadwayWorld Awards in jazz performance.
