Award-winning New York City-based jazz bassist BARRY STEPHENSON has been acclaimed as “one of the most sought-after bassists on the scene today.” Released in 2020, Barry’s The Iconoclast was nominated for the NAACP Image Award® for Outstanding Jazz Album (Instrumental), and was notably the only independently-produced album in a category that included work by Jon Batiste, George Burton, Christian Sands, and Immanuel Wilkins. The Iconoclast was also named by Offbeat magazine as one of the Top 50 Albums of 2020.

“[O]ne of the most sought-after bassists on the scene today. His powerful sound, swinging concept and soulful approach to music come through in every note he plays, and I’m certain that he will continue to be one of the most important voices on his instrument for many years to come.”
—Mark Whitfield

“It’s like if Duke Ellington met Ornette Coleman. The melodies throughout the album complement each other in a way that creates a powerful thread of integrity and continuity between them.”
—Jason Moran
