Vibraphonist Stefon Harris came up through the ranks of some of jazz's most demanding bandleaders before striking out as a leader himself, and by 2004 he had established the vibrap hone as a frontline voice in contemporary hard bop and post-bop conversation. Evolution finds him deepening that argument with a tight ensemble built for dialogue, not showcase, which puts it squarely in the tradition of great Blue Note small-group records where the band is the story. Stefon Harris is one of today's brightest young jazz stars evolving from one project to the next. Stefon has gathered a new group of musicians, known as "Blackout," to help document the music of today. From the Sting Cover "Until" to the Latin-infused original "Red-Bone, Netti-Bone," Stefon and Blackout has delivered one of the year's best and highly-anticipated releases of 2004. Tracklist 1.
