A disciple of Lionel Hampton, Milt Jackson, and Bobby Hutcherson, Stefon Harris belongs to the grand lineage of vibraphonists in jazz. Well known to San Francisco audiences - he was a member of the SFJAZZ Collective from 2007-13 - Harris is a master player, a true virtuoso. Whenever he picks up his mallets, he hovers "over his vibraphone and marimba with hummingbird movements, hands fluttering in a blur across the keys," says The New York Times. 

On Sonic Creed, Harris' latest album with his razor-sharp quintet Blackout, the vibraphonist assembles some of the most respected veterans of the current scene.
