Radar

Featuring the music of Jonathan Barber
Duration: 6:48
October 18, 2026

You may not have heard of drummer Jonathan Barber, but he’s already arrived as a powerhouse. Word-of-mouth led him to transformative roles with tenor saxophonist JD Allen in 2013 and trumpeter Jeremy Pelt starting in 2017. After being named “#1 Up-and-Coming Drummer” in 2018 by Modern Drummer, he caught the ear of Pat Metheny, who brought him early into his Side-Eye project. Barber brings explosive intensity through muscular tom fills, rat-a-tat jabs on snare and sophisticated syncopation on cymbal. He leads the group Vision Ahead, blending fusion, bop and gospel feels, with his long-time personnel Andrew Renfroe on guitar, Taber Gable on keys, Matt Dwonszyk on bass and Matt Knoegel here on tenor. Captured live for the concert series “Musig im Pflegidach” (“Music in the Care Home Attic”), the performance of “Radar” unfolds under the aged wooden rafters of a Benedictine monastery founded in 1027 AD. Note the great blend of timbres, especially horn and guitar.

Sono molto giovani i musicisti del quartetto Radar, ma suonano come dei veterani. E se questo può essere un bene dal punto di vista sia tecnico che espressivo, può rappresentare un limite sotto il profilo della sperimentazione, della novità. Il loro debutto In Sight è un buon disco: raffinato, suonato con dedizione, pieno di eleganze stilistiche ...

Radar: Easy Listening

The tempo you might expect from new music made in Japan is certainly not what you get from the trio known as Radar. In fact, their fresh approach to music making transcends geography and genre. The trio of horn (mostly soprano saxophone), bass, and piano plays hesitating tunes, paced by experimentation and plenty of ...
