John Harris

Real-life mentor Nat King Cole inspired pianist-vocalist John Harris to realize his musical goals. Every performance night, for three years, Harris served as Cole's off-stage support and confidant.

"Night after night, I watched Cole thrill sold-out audiences all over the world," says Harris. "His humble stage persona, deep commitment to his music and exacting piano work, with its intricate simplicities, inspired me."

Johnny Mathis and Ann-Margret also recognized Harris' unique talent as a collaborator and included him as a vocalist in solos and duets for live stage performances, television and recordings. He also served as rehearsal pianist and arranger for their choral groups.

Harris emulates the masters. His jazz stylings reflect the work of Errol Garner, André Previn and Cole. John’s repertoire also includes some timeless classic rock and contemporary pop. His upbeat and inspired performances consistently charm audiences everywhere.
