Jonathan Barber & Vision Ahead

Loading...

Internationally acclaimed drummer, composer, and bandleader Jonathan Barber leads his powerhouse group, Vision Ahead, in a dynamic fusion of classic jazz, gospel, rock, soul, and fusion. The band includes longtime friends and fellow Jackie McLean Institute alumni — guitarist Andrew Renfroe, pianist Taber Gable, bassist Matt Dwonszyk, and saxophonist Matt Knoegel.

With five critically praised albums under his belt, including the latest self-titled Vision Ahead and the DownBeat 4.5-star-rated Legacy Holder, Barber has firmly established his mark on the jazz scene. Recognized as the #1 Up-and-Coming Drummer by Modern Drummer magazine, Barber has toured and recorded with jazz icons such as Pat Metheny, Terence Blanchard, Christian McBride, Nicholas Payton, and Christian Sands.

Vision Ahead will perform a mix of original material from their eponymous debut album and more!
