Somewhat
of an artistic chameleon, Asa Harris has done it all:
singing in big bands, acting in one-woman shows and
appearing in television commercials.
She even had a cameo role opposite Robert Duvall in the
1996 film, “A
Family Thing.” The
daughter of musician Ace Harris and the niece of famed trumpeter
and bandleader Erskine Hawkins, Asa Harris’ passion for music
was inescapable. Currently
in the process of earning her masters degree in pastoral ministry,
Harris regularly performs with the St. Louis Symphony Pops and
Gene Esposito’s Jazz Orchestra in Chicago, which performs the
repertoire of Billy Strayhorn.
