Internationally recorded artist, composer, educator and bandleader Jonathan Barber will perform at the Milford Arts Council on Friday, May 16 at 7:30 p.m. at 40 Railroad Ave. in Milford.
Barber was voted the number one up-and-coming drummer of 2018 in Modern Drummer. DownBeat magazine gave his album, “Legacy Holder,” 4.5 stars.
Barber acts as a composer and leader with his band Jonathan Barber & Vision Ahead. His blend of classic, swinging jazz with elements of gospel, rock, soul, and fusion is a showcase of stylistic range as a drummer, performer and composer.
Jonathan Barber & Vision Ahead have completed three National tours across the United States since 2020. Barber tours extensively in jazz clubs and theaters in cities throughout the US. He recently has been appointed as jazz drum professor at the University of Connecticut.
