Jesse Harris' Songs without Words

Click the play button to listen

How many musicians can claim to be close collaborators of both John Zorn and Norah Jones? Grammy Award-winning prolific singer-songwriter, producer, and guitarist Jesse Harris can. His knack for memorable melodies and sophisticated harmonies have made him a sought-after composer and producer for a motley crew of artists that range from Willie Nelson to Brad Mehldau, from The Black Keys to Vinicius Cantuaria.

Here is a collection of his "songs without words," because, when he approaches instrumental music, in projects like Cosmo and Star Rover, he does it with the soul of a singer-songwriter.

Happy listening!
