About Joe Alterman and Karla Harris
Jazz, Big Band, Brass
Jazz vocalist Karla Harris’ three decade career has captivated audiences from Portland to Provence. Bringing dynamic diversity and nuance to the music, she remains respectful of a song’s roots. Critical Jazz says, “Rich, full-bodied and with a slight buttery finish, Karla Harris has mad skills – a vocal artist with impeccable phrasing and the innate gift to have the band play with and not around her.”
Learn More about Karla
Atlanta native Joe Alterman is a man hailed by greats; Ramsey Lewis describes his piano playing as ‘a joy to behold’, Les McCann states ‘As a man and musician he is already a giant’. Joe Alterman began at NYU with a BA and Masters in Jazz Piano, followed by performances with Houston Person, Les McCann, Dick Gregory, and Ramsey Lewis. Downbeat describes his sound as “rooted in the blues, and with a touch reminiscent of the great pianists of the 1950s—Red Garland, Ahmad Jamal, Bill Evans.”
