Chesapeake Music is excited to welcome the Stephen Philip Harvey Jazz Orchestra (SPHJO) for their debut performance at The Ebenezer Theater, celebrating their recent album release (“Multiversal”). This 17-piece BIG band will be one of the largest ensembles to EVER take the stage at this historic venue, promising an unmatched, explosive energy that will need to be witnessed (and felt) to be believed! The ensemble will play a mixture of music from their new release alongside select works from SPHJO’s first release (“Smash!”, 2022). Both albums contain entirely original compositions by Stephen Philip Harvey, inspired by comic books and superheroes. This concert will be a pseudo-cinematic experience that brings the listener into an action-packed setlist of ethereal melodies, hard-hitting counterpoint, and heroic themes.“Filled with genre-defying compositions that fuse jazz, classical, funk, hip-hop, and gospel, Multiversal captures some of Harvey’s imaginative takes on large-ensemble works. His 2022 debut release, Smash!, established him as a composer and bandleader with a knack for translating comic-book action into instrumental jazz fireworks. Multiversal goes further — making the listener feel not just like a reader of the story, but a participant in this cinematic, superhero-themed recording.”
