Stefon Harris & Blackout: Evolution
by Eric J. Iannelli
It takes no time at all to get into Evolution , Stefon Harris’ fifth album for Blue Note, the young vibraphonist’s fourth as leader and his first with his new band. Immediately the music breaks into a sprint. And its appeal is equally as instantaneous. There is no acclimation period, no finger-drumming developmental warm-up, no amusing ...
Stefon Harris & Blackout: Evolution
by John Kelman
Vibraphonist Stefon Harris first came to attention on releases by trombonist Steve Turre and, most notably, with eight-string guitarist Charlie Hunter's groove-happy Pound for Pound band. Since that time, with an approach that could perhaps be accused of sometimes being a little too cerebral and not visceral enough, Harris has released three fine recordings as a ...

Stefon Harris: The Grand Unification Theory
by Jim Santella
Writing from a physical as well as philosophical viewpoint, Stefon Harris has developed his suite for 12 jazz artists into an exciting adventure about life and death, and what goes on in between.

Stefon Harris & Jacky Terrasson: Kindred Spirits
by Jim Santella
Collaboration means working together toward the same goal. Stefon Harris & Jacky Terrasson have a lot in common, and their collaboration seems quite natural. Vibraphone, piano, bass and drums leave a pleasant combination of timbres that is at once familiar and fresh. Responding to each other, the duo creates a fourhanded affair. Their partnership is particularly ...

Classical Jazz Quartet: Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker"
by Jim Santella
Like the Modern Jazz Quartet, the foursome on this new release folds visions of great classical music into a mainstream jazz setting. Tchaikovsky's 1892 ballet has always provided special holiday vibes for the holidays. This year, Bob Belden's musical arrangements have put a new spin on it; still leaving a lot of space for veteran improvisation. ...
Kenny Drew Jr. Trio with guests: Wallace Roney & Stefon Harris: Remembrance
by Glenn Astarita
It’s difficult to fathom that the wondrously adept pianist Kenny Drew Jr. (son of jazz trumpeter Kenny Drew) is a self-taught musician. And with his latest release titled Remembrance, he pays homage to three sadly departed jazz luminaries; Milt Jackson, Art Farmer and Manfredo Fest. Here, the pianist garners additional support from vibraphonist Stefon Harris and ...
