Blue Note Records Announces the February 11, 2003 Release of "The Grand Unification Theory"

The Grand Unification Theory is a 12-movement concert-length jazz suite composed and arranged by Stefon Harris and performed by a 12-piece ensemble, which swings and sobs while it tells an epic story of life and death.

“...the progress in Harris' work and ideas that has taken place over the last few years simply affirms the original view of him as one of the significant jazz players (and, now, composers) of the new century." --Don Heckman, Los Angeles Times

“[Harris'] band contains highly articulate voices... as Harris paints with their individual and collective colors, he displays deftness and discipline. Forms are worked through in meticulous detail. Solos are succinct and grow organically out of the overall design. And woven through everything, like a silver thread of intelligence, is Harris' vibraharp, sometimes out front, elaborating the protagonist's point of view but more often deeper in the mix, illuminating and intensifying and solidifying the whole."--JazzTimes

Upcoming performances by Stefon Harris with The Grand Unification Theory ensemble:
April 1-6 - Jazz Bakery - Los Angeles, CA
April 17-19 - Jazz Standard - New York, NY
