The story of Swingin' Love Songs began over twenty years ago when Harris—celebrated by The New York Times as a "protean talent" and described by the Miami Herald as possessing "the warmth of Tony Bennett, the bite and rhythmic sense of Sinatra, and the sly elegance of Nat 'King' Cole"—was introduced to the music of the late Charleston, West Virginia songwriter Ike Joseph. Orchestrated by Grammy Award-winning producer Eddie Montilla, the introduction struck an immediate chord. Joseph’s rare gift for crafting timeless melodies and deeply heartfelt lyrics instantly captured Harris’s imagination.

Rich with romance, wit, and the unmistakable spirit of the Great American Songbook, Swingin' Love Songs is a masterclass in vocal jazz storytelling. Across a celebrated career that includes 17 recordings as a leader, multiple New York Nightlife Awards for "Outstanding Jazz Vocalist," and recognition as a DownBeat "Rising Star," Harris has long been anchored by his ability to breathe authentic life into classic arrangements, blues, and contemporary standards. With Swingin' Love Songs, he once again demonstrates his unwavering commitment to championing powerful, heart-led songwriting, completely independent of the era in which it was penned. Swingin' Love Songs will be available on all major streaming platforms, CD, and digital download on August 28, 2026.
