Blackout: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Blackout

Blackout is the working ensemble led by vibraphonist Stefon Harris, a four-time GRAMMY nominee known for building jazz sets around detailed harmony and elastic rhythm. In New York City, the group appears at Dizzy’s Club, where Harris’s writing and improvising are heard in close, club-scale focus. The band’s book often treats groove and counterpoint as equal partners, leaving room for shifting textures across the front line. Their performances favor clarity of ensemble interplay over spectacle.
