Stephen Philip Harvey

Born: May 24, 1992

Stephen Philip Harvey is an award-winning, Philadelphia-based saxophonist, composer, arranger, bandleader, and educator whose work bridges jazz traditions with the pulse of contemporary Black American music. Balancing narrative-driven composition with expressive improvisation, Harvey creates music distinguished by its cinematic scope, rhythmic vitality, and melodic accessibility. Trumpeter and composer Sean Jones describes his work as “a beautiful pairing of the complex and the elementary.”

Now devoting his career to performance and composition, Harvey brings his music to audiences throughout the Mid-Atlantic, across the United States, and internationally. He leads several distinct ensembles, each offering a different perspective on his artistic voice: the chordless trio SPH+2, electric quintet Sphinx, mid-sized Stephen Philip Harvey Octet (SPH8), and critically acclaimed Stephen Philip Harvey Jazz Orchestra (SPHJO). Across these settings, he moves fluidly between intimate musical conversation, electric experimentation, chamber-like detail, and the expansive possibilities of the jazz orchestra.
