IN MOTION by Jonathan Barber & Vision Ahead
In Motion, is Jonathan Barber's fourth studio album with his long-standing group Vision Ahead. It is instilled with a sense of maturity and rooted in deeply personal expression, In Motion emerges as an authentic musical portrait of the Hartford-born artist illustrated by eight richly-composed original compositions and a pair of reprises. Intended as a cohesive, full body of work, In Motion is Jonathan Barber’s most astute statement yet, and a testament to the staying power of Vision Ahead as an ensemble.
