FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20TH. With vibrant vocals that range from quiet
vulnerability to soul-tinged power, jazz singer Karla Harris brings
refreshing lyricism and a compelling presence to the music scene.
Karla began performing as a teen in her hometown of St.
Louis and soon was singing alongside many of the region’s revered jazz artists.
Following a move to the Pacific Northwest in 2005, her reputation grew as a
dynamic singer with a warmth and spirit uniquely hers, performing in top rooms
across the region. She has performed at Newport Jazz Festivals, the Cathedral
Park Jazz Festival, the Nantucket Arts Festival, and more. In 2007 she released
a joint recording, Twice as Nice, with internationally renowned bassist Tom
Kennedy, who has worked with mainstream legends such as Rosemary Clooney,
Freddie Hubbard and Stan Kenton.
Karla relocated to the Atlanta area in 2012. Her repertoire
spans genres and styles, drawing on standards and classics in jazz and pop. Of
her work, Jazz Scene (Jazz Society of Oregon) writes, “Always respectful
of her American Songbook choices, Harris has superb intonation and a
contemporary yet appealing approach to the songs…. She engages the audience and
makes us happy to be sharing the evening with her.”
