Best of
the Twin Cities
In the 12 years since he first moved to Minnesota from southern Illinois, this remarkably fluid guitarist has positioned himself at the center of the Twin Cities jazz world. If your venue has a stage where jazz musicians gather, Harris has performed his fleet-fingered thing there. Whether playing alongside the McKnight-winning Atlantis Quartet or fronting his own Zacc Harris Group, Harris makes his mark, incorporating lessons from the greats (including Wes Montgomery, Pat Metheny, and John McLaughlin) into his own forward-looking style. Most recently, he’s branched out even further to assay jazz interpretations of classic folk and pop with his American Reverie project.
