“Stephen is an exceptional musician with a very bright future.”
— Roscoe Mitchell, NEA Jazz Master
“Sophisticated accessibility! When I listen to Stephen Harvey’s music, that’s what I hear. Thoughtful construction of complex structures and orchestrations that take the listener on a beautiful sonic ride without speaking over their heads. A beautiful pairing of the complex and the elementary.”
— Sean Jones, Trumpeter/Composer/Bandleader/Educator
“Harvey performs with a strong personality. He will say it with his tenor. There are no words, but his soprano’s flexibility, strong tone, and direct expression cannot be easily matched by today’s saxophonists.”
— Turgay Yalchin, Dark Blue Notes
