Steve Barry is a New Zealand born jazz pianist and composer. He is the Program Leader for Jazz at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music at the University of Sydney.[1] His album In the Waves with USA drummer Eric Harland received favourable coverage in the UK jazz magazine Jazzwise where Barry's music was described as "steeped in the harmonic rigours and free-flowing discipline of well-executed contemporary narrative jazz".[2] He has also received positive notice at Australianjazz.net[3] and in the Sydney Morning Herald, which praised In the Waves as “...the finest instalment to date of the pianist’s bristling musical intelligence, rhythmic mutability, melodic flair and compositional gifts.”[4]
