Check out the beautifully illustrated video from Stefon Harris and Blackout for "Gone" off the new album Urbanus, released on Concord Jazz on August 25th. The illustration is based off the album art, created by designer, comic book illustrator and artist, Stacey "Shabach" Robinson.
Urbanus, the
new release by vibraphonist-composer Stefon Harris signifies his 7th
album as a band leader and his Concord Records debut. The new album
picks up where 2004’s Evolution 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 associated with
R&B, pop, hip-hop and funk. More
