“Harris’ creative artistry is a breath of fresh air”

— Boston Phoenix


“Kevin Harris plays and writes with flair and real soul”

—Fred Hersch


“Fresh and full of energy! I especially love that "Margaret's Kitchen" track.”

—Hankus Netsky
Instructor, New England Conservatory


“I enjoyed a rather contemporary approach which seemingly contrasts most younger exploits of today’s creative concepts. Your musical thoughts most certainly should be experienced by a much larger audience who would be in search for something different.”

—Cecil McBee


“I couldn't help but observe that the band had a tremendous rapport, bringing a real sense of ‘play’ to the music.”

—Tyra Penn
WICN Public Radio, 90.5 FM


“Kevin is a brilliant improviser in which every rhythmic, harmonic, and melodic phrase he plays is cohesive and logically developed. Most importantly, his playing is consistently soulful and in the pocket. In my opinion, Kevin will be a significant voice in the world of jazz piano for the new millennium. I'm proud to share the bandstand with him."”

—Andrew Hayward
Lincoln Jazz Center Orchestra and SF Jazz Collective


“...passionate conversation and interaction”

—South End News


“Harris tiptoes and pirouettes across a relaxed set of ballads and lightly soulful grooves, he possesses a spare style and a gentle touch”

—Jazz Times Magazine
