Think of the history of the vibraphone in Jazz and several important names might come to mind. Lionel Hampton, Milt Jackson, Bobby Hutcherson and Gary Burton are all examples of legendary vibraphonists that have defined the role the instrument has played in Jazz. In today’s Jazz scene, the name best associated with this storied tradition is Stefon Harris.
