One of the finest and most unique jazz guitarists in North America, John Moulder, to Vancouver Island. John, who records with some of the world's most accomplished jazz musicians, including Pat Metheny’s rhythm section, will be playing with some of Canada’s leading players, Ryan Oliver (saxes), Nick Peck (piano/keys), Ken Lister (bass) and John Miller (drums).

John Moulder is a guitarist and composer whose music has evolved from an assimilation of various musical traditions, such that David Rickert from All About Jazz wrote, “Moulder has a distinct and exciting approach that ensures that his albums sound like nothing else out there. An ingenious improviser with a seemingly endless instinct for variety, he is definitely one to watch.” His most recent release, entitled Metamorphosis (Origin 2022), features Richie Beirach, Steve Rodby, and Paul Wertico with new compositions penned by Moulder and described by British poet and essayist Raul da Gama as “an album of music to die for.”
