VIBRAPHONIST STEFON HARRIS "BLACKOUT" QUINTET

Jazz for the "here and now" is the best way to describe vibraphonist, composer and bandleader Stefon Harris' new disc, Urbanus his 7th CD as a leader, which also marks his Concord records debut. Urbanus picks up where 2004's Evolution [Blue note] left off in that it features Blackout, his scintillating ensemble that's as versed in modern jazz as it is with rhythms, melodies and soundscapes assoicated with R & B pop, hip-hop and funk.
