Stephen Philip Harvey’s works sit squarely at the intersection of popular culture and jazz – and nothing better illustrates this than his recent release smash. For this project – celebrating the release of his album - Harvey uses contemporary big band writing styles and genre-blending idioms to bring comic book inspired pieces to life. These compositions combine elements of big band jazz, fusion, funk, rock, and cinematic score to bring classic characters and scenes off the page.
But wait! There’s more. Sean Jones joins the group as a special guest on trumpet. With a six-year stint as lead trumpet in the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and time with the San Francisco Jazz Collective to his credit – Sean Jones graces the stage with his presence and his talent.
From July 7th, 2022 it’s the Stephen Phillip Harvey Jazz Orchestra, featuring Sean Jones – Live at the Bop Stop.
