About This Event

~New York City-based Jonathan Barber was voted the #1 Up-and-Coming Drummer of 2018 in Modern Drummer. Only 29 years old, he has already recorded and toured worldwide with such artists as Pat Metheny, Nicholas Payton, Buster Williams, Jeremy Pelt, Wallace Roney, Terrace Martin, Jennifer Holiday, Harold Mabern, Steve Davis, Stefon Harris, and many more. Barber has also been called on for such significant performances as Jimmy Greenes Ana Grace Project (with an all-star band comprised of Greene, Kenny Barron, John Patitucci, and Kurt Elling) and back-to-back sold-out concerts with the Brooklyn Philharmonic and Erykah Badu at the BAM Opera House.In addition to his first-call status as a sideman, Barber has recently stepped forth as a composer and leader with his Vision Ahead band, featuring saxophonist Godwin Louis, guitarist Andrew Renfroe, bassist Matt Dwonszyk, and pianist Taber Gable. Even with Barbers history of high-profile gigs and recordings taken into consideration, DownBeat magazine calls Vision Aheads self-titled debut album his greatest accomplishment to date. Released on Rockwood Music Halls largest stage in May 2018, Vision Ahead is a powerful declaration of intent for a band thats been making waves on the modern jazz scene since its debut performance at Smalls Jazz Club. The groups blend of classic, swinging jazz with elements of gospel, rock, soul, and fusion is a compelling showcase of Barbers broad stylistic range as a composer and performer. Jonathan Barber & Vision Ahead was featured and headline the 2018 Rainy Days Jazz Festival held in St. Petersburg and Moscow, Russia.SECTIONSPremium Front Row Seating Premium Front Row Seating WITH Dinner Reseved Seating/Dinner and Show Packages Reserved Seating General Admission: Main Floor GA, Miles Davis MezzaninePremium Front Row Mezzanine Level Seating without Dinner Premium Front Row Mezzanine Level WITH DinnerAll GA sections (Main Floor GA & Miles Davis Mezzanine) will be seated by host and are first come,
