AMERICAN RECKONING available now!!!
The new album from Zacc Harris featuring Matt Peterson and Lars-Erik Larson is a powerful follow-up to his 2017 album ‘American Reverie,’ reimagining the American folk canon through a modern jazz lens. The album deepens its predecessor’s nostalgic warmth with sharper edges and a greater sense of urgency, exploring the tension between past and present through inventive arrangements of traditional songs and music by Stephen Foster, Brian Wilson, and Bob Dylan.

ATLANTIS QUARTET LIVE AT BERLIN available now!!!
Atlantis Quartet’s ‘Live at Berlin’ captures a freewheeling set from a band with deep musical telepathy. Longtime pillars of the Twin Cities jazz scene, saxophonist Brandon Wozniak, guitarist Zacc Harris, bassist Chris Bates, and drummer Pete Hennig push into a more open-ended sound on this bold live album, recorded during the opening week of Minneapolis’s newest jazz club.
“Nearly 20 years into their partnership, Live at Berlin transports the quartet from the controlled environment of the studio to the spontaneity of the stage, where they blur the line between composition and improvisation, producing some of their most immediate and daring music to date.”

CHASING SHADOWS available now!!!

“The compositions explore the kind of big-sky generous melodicism pioneered by artists such as [Pat] Metheny and Gary Burton…[Harris’s] timing and articulation are beyond reproach and his imagination extensive.” – Jazzwise Magazine
“Chasing Shadows is an energetic and thoughtfully composed post-bop quintet date.” DownBeat Magazine

BOUNDARIES available now!!!
A collection of eight improvised pieces by Jake Baldwin, Zacc Harris and Pete Hennig ranging from ambient to free jazz.
“Some music defies definition. If it fits into a recognizable style, it is not that difficult to describe. When artists step outside traditional boundaries to create a different sound, it frequently becomes one of those “you just have to hear it” moments. Such is the case with Boundaries…one of those albums that invites repeated listening. As with any good art, the more you go back, the more you discover.”
– Kyle Simpler, All About Jazz
