“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.”

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

“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."”

Hayward

conversation and interaction”

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