“The turning point, when I decided to get serious, was in the late 70s, when I got to hear Bill Evans three nights in a row, up close, at Blues Alley,” Harris says. “I was completely blown away by Bill Evans’ ability to use these ... incredibly gorgeous, complex harmonies. And impressionism. And sometimes he would sound like Debussy. Or then . . . swing hard off the scale. And the way he would emote through the music.
“I actually felt: This guy plays the way I feel. Which was a revelation, because I thought , wow, if I can get some of this emotion out through the music - I’ll probably feel pretty good.”
Harris laughs.
