Jazz vibraphonist and composer Stefon Harris and his band Blackout are giving the final performance in this seasons of BU's Celebrity Artist Series. General admission is $30 for the performance Friday, April 29, at 7:30 p.m. in Haas Center for the Arts, Mitrani Hall.

An hour prior to curtain at BU, Harris will present a workshop for percussion students and a pre-curtain talk, “The State of the Art of Jazz in America.”

Harris has been called “one of the most important young artists in jazz” by the Los Angeles Times. He has recorded five CDs, received the Lincoln Center’s Martin E. Segal Award and was nominated three times for a Grammy Award. Harris has toured with well-known artists, including Wynton Marsalis and David Sanborn, as well as Kenny Barron and Kurt Elling, who appeared at BU last year as part of Monterey Jazz Festival on Tour.

A graduate of Manhattan School of Music, he currently teaches at New York University.  He tours worldwide with his band Blackout and the San Francisco Jazz Collective, performing in venues such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center and the Sydney Opera House.
