Newly Remastered For Blue Note 75th Anniversary Vinyl!
Originally released in 1999, this is the jazz vibraphonists second album for Blue Note and finds him joined by Tarus Mateen, Jason Moran, Greg Osby, Gary Thomas, Steve Turre, and Eric Harland.
Newly-remastered for vinyl as part of an overall Blue Note 75th anniversary vinyl reissue campaign spearheaded by current Blue Note Records President, Don Was.
"With his second album Black Action Figure, Stefon Harris still is finding his footing as an innovator, yet he is well on his way to developing his own exciting sense of style. At its core, this is fairly traditionalist hard bop, but there is energy and unpredictability to Harris' playing that makes it feel chancier -- and he does push harder at the borders of bop this time around. That added sense of adventure, along with the robust spirit of his supporting band, makes Black Action Figure another winner for Harris." - allmusic.com
