For A Collective Cy, Jeff and a full 0rchestra put a jazzy and sophisticated spin on Coleman’s pop standards and music theatre classics, including a cut number from Barnum, and two selections from the rarely-staged show Seesaw. A Collective Cy features special guests in pop/jazz vocalists Ann Hampton Callaway, Liz Callaway (both Tony nominees), Nicolas King, and Danny Bacher.

Jeff’s national tour stops to celebrate the album include Carmel, IN (9/8-9), St Louis, MO (9/15), Chicago, IL (9/20), and Birdland in New York, NY (10/2), with more to be announced.

Harnar has performed at Carnegie Hall for both the Cole Porter and Noël Coward Centennial Galas. Jeff’s PBS concerts include “The 1959 Broadway Songbook” and “American Songbook: Stephen Sondheim.” Jeff toured in their Symphony Pops Concert “I Got Rhythm: Mickey & Judy’s Hollywood.” Jeff has won multiple MAC, Bistro and The Noël Coward Foundation Award.

Also in 2022 Jeff was the recipient of the Mabel Mercer Foundation’s Mabel Mercer Award, and the winner of three BroadwayWorld Cabaret Awards.
