American Jazz vibraphonist Stefon Harris brings innovative talent and ability as one of the most promising new musicians to touch the vibes. As a recording musician and educator, Stefon explores the potentials of jazz composition and new approaches toward the vibraphone. His albums have drawn numerous accolades from the Jazz community, including the Blue Note sessions "Kindred", "Black Action Figure", "The Grand Unification Theory", "African Tarantella: Dances With Duke" and the Grammy-nominated release "Urbanus" on Concord. "If any single young artist is going to be a major star in the next few years, it's Harris." says the Los Angeles Times.



"Ninety Miles" which is the focus of an interview with Jazzcorner.com is a 2011 album release by Stefon Harris, one which draws heavy influence from the music and culture of Cuba. The CD/DVD was recorded in Havana with saxophonist David Sánchez, trumpeter Christian Scott and a collective of master Cuban musicians. Listen to music from the album and hear him share thoughts behind the recording process in his interview with JazzCorner below. The fusion of traditional Jazz and Afro-Cuban music on "Ninety Miles" is quite nice and shows the diversity between how different cultures interpret music.







Joined by Robert Glasper Experiment and Pete Rock, Stefon blesses the vibes for a tribute to one of his inspirations, the legendary Roy Ayers. This Revive Da Live event from April 2012 at Jazz a la Villette in France is professionally-filmed to catch all the big excitement between crowd and stage down to the the subtle nuances of each musician's performance. Sit back and enjoy about an hour of soulful live Jazz.
