Stefon Harris (born 1973) is an American jazz vibraphonist. In 1999, the Los Angeles Times called him "one of the most important young artists in jazz"[1] and is "at the forefront of new New York music" and "much in demand as a star sideman".[2] Harris has played with several jazz luminaries including Kenny Barron, Steve Turre, and Charlie Hunter, in addition to releasing several of his own critically well-regarded albums.
Harris is a resident of Newark, New Jersey.[3]
