Due to his versatility, vast repertoire, and vibrant energy, Mr. Barnhart is in constant demand as a participant in international jazz events and recording sessions as either a soloist or as a pianist in All-Star Jazz ensembles. Mr. Barnhart enjoys great success performing with smaller groups, most notably lvory&Gold”, a duo with his talented wife, flutist/ vocalist Anne Barnhart. Barnhart tours on average of 40 weeks of each year and is featured on over 120 full-length recordings.
