Jeff Harnar's new album, Jeff Harnar Sings Sammy Cahn: The Second Time Around, will be released July 26 via PS Classics. The album is a remixed, reimagined, and expanded version of Harnar's 2001 Sammy Cahn album, and features guest vocals from Grammy nominee Clint Holmes, vocal trio MOIPEI, and Grammy winner Nicole Zuraitis.
Harnar will celebrate the album release with two concerts at 54 Below, held July 26 and 27. MOIPEI, Sally Mayes, and Eric Comstock will appear at the July 26 concert, while Holmes, MOIPEI, and Zuraitis will appear July 27.
"Jeff came to us in 2021 with a proposal for three albums: two new recordings and a reissue of a CD long out of print," Tommy Krasker, co-founder of PS Classics, said in a statement. "Having released 2022’s I Know Things Now: My Life in Sondheim’s Words and Jeff’s Cy Coleman songbook, A Collective Cy, in 2023, we turned our attention to the reissue, his 2001 tribute to the great Sammy Cahn. But the more we looked at the album, the clearer it became that what was needed was more than a simple re-release. The passage of time meant that Jeff related to the material differently now—as an artist and interpreter, but also an individual; there were things he wanted to say—ways of expressing himself—that could only be accomplished by going back into the studio....When we gathered in the studio to record—armed with charts created especially for this album by Jeff’s longtime music director, Alex Rybeck—the joy in the room was palpable...We hope you’ll feel that joy of rediscovery as well.”
The album is now available for pre-order on iTunes and Amazon. The tracks "I'll Only Miss Him When I Think of Him" and "Come Fly With Me," featuring Zuraitis, are available for instant download with pre-order.
