Special Steps Ahead Jam Session

Special Steps Ahead for Tom Ibarra's jam! A band that was born out of regular jam sessions in a New York club. Founded in the late 70s by vibraphonist Mike Mainieri, Step Ahead became the most popular fusion-jazz band of the 1980s. Noticed early on by the greatest for his virtuosity, his rich and dynamic compositions and his melodic lines, Tom Ibarra was very quickly programmed in national and international festivals. He shared the stage with Didier Lockwood and Sylvain Luc in 2015, Marcus Miller in 2016, Richard Bona in a showcase at NAMM in 2017 in Los Angeles or Kamasi Washington and Anderson Paak in 2019 during an improvised jam session on the Baiser Salé stage !
