Asa Harris

“Asa Harris’ All in Good Time may forfeit this strong, seasoned jazz vocalist some of her best-kept-secret status – although this standards-heavy, mostly trio-backed album is an enjoyable way to do it. . . With her intriguing repertoire and innate sense of swing, Asa Harris guarantees a Good Time will be had by all.”  Drew Wheeler, CDNow 

“Asa is a great singer and although she sings the relatively simple ‘Tuxedo Junction,’ the other songs on the CD are difficult for anyone.  Witness ‘Jitterbug Waltz,’ ‘Daydream,’ and ‘Love for Sale.’  Thirteen great standards are here for your enjoyment. . .  Asa Harris demands your attention.  Does she sound like Sarah, Ella, Carmen?  Nope! She sounds like a mature jazz vocalist cutting her own trail.”   Richard Bourcier, Jazz Review

“Harris possesses that seductive and disappearing style of singing that draws the listener into the vocalist’s world.  It’s a world where storytelling and lyrics matter, where interaction with the audience is genuine.  Harris is as much a cabaret entertainer as a jazz singer and, as Martha Stewart would say, it’s a good thing.”  Michael J. Renner, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
