Elemental - Album Out Now!

Elemental is the debut album from the Stephen Philip Harvey Octet, on Hidden Cinema Records. This original contemporary jazz suite celebrates the classical elements of water, earth, air, and fire. 🌊⛰️🌪️🔥

From Harvey’s pen and under his leadership, this octet comes together to form a powerhouse group. With moments of driving solos, serene space, and harmonies that range from bright to dense, this album runs the gambit of the vast sonorities for the endless possibilities of the elements.

Holiday Single - Out Now!

“O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” is the debut holiday single of the Stephen Philip Harvey Octet. This original arrangement by Harvey takes the often solemn and somber Christmas carol and kicks into an up-tempo latin groove. It features solos by Harvey on tenor saxophone and Tommy Lehman on trumpet.

Stephen Harvey, tenor saxophone; Chris Coles, alto saxophone; Tommy Lehman, trumpet; Reggie Watkins, trombone; Dan Bruce, guitar; Theron Brown, piano; Tony DePaolis, bass; Dustin May, drums
