Strickland also recently ended a five year stint with legendary drummer Roy Haynes. Although the aspiring saxophonist has been on two grammy-nominated recordings in a row (Fountain of Youth - Roy Haynes & Keystone - Dave Douglas), the most intriguing part is that Strickland's career has just begun. This is definitely indicated by his latest venture..

Jonathan Barber: Blazing Forward

Read "Jonathan Barber: Blazing Forward" reviewed by K. Shackelford
