My nephew Ian Barnett's first group while he studies at the Berklee School of Music in Boston. He's the drummer. My favorite is the top one listed (Blue Maven). I would describe the music as jazz-like in the best sort of way.

Definitely worth a listen. If I could have, I would have instantly downloaded the songs to my iPod.

I expect many great things from Ian in the future.

The kid's quite good, and plays very tastefully for a young Berklee student. (surprisingly sparse for an undoubtedly skilled technical player) Please make sure he's heard some of a great band called Morphine, which uses similar instrumentation.

He sounds great. Let him know there is a gig for him in the Army Bands! We have quite a few Berklee grads that need to pay off student loans!

I got turned on to your blog after you came and spoke to us at the Army Band leader training back in 2007. I've been checking it out every day ever since.
