Thank you.
[MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] >> Hi, my name is Stefan Harris and I'm a composer in a vibraphone and other thing.
I'm one of the biggest fans of the art form of jazz performing live.
There's nothing like it because you never know what's going to happen.
The musicians don't know the audience doesn't know.
So we all discover it together.
The music is happening around the musicians happening around the audience and to really be so involved emotionally so committee, you lose yourself, you forget where you are.
You disappear into the sound of the music.
And that for me was to spot.
That's what I dream of always.
When I play, I want to disappear.
I don't want separation of our audience and musician.
I don't want separation of the musician and the issue that I want to be in the world that exists like that.
>> The U.S. an.
>> I'm happy.
