The Jon Miller Quartet is a jazz quartet from Victoria BC also bearing the group title “Manifold Destiny.” This alternate identity is meant to represent the group's current musical incarnation which has evolved in many ways since the group's 2009 release “Orchidology.” The band's predominantly original music in the mainstream-jazz vein is now by turns more playful, darker and diverse than in the past, incorporating influences from sources both within and outside the jazz vein including fusion and world music. The addition of Monik Nordine on alto and soprano saxophones brings a new, dynamic and highly accomplished writing and playing voice to mix. (Nordine replaces the excellent but over-committed Roy Styffe). Musical points of reference include guitarist John Scofield, the early fusion of Miles Davis, Brian Blade, Chris Dave, Gretchen Parlato, Jessica Williams, Gil Evans as well as many that blur the boundaries of the jazz realm. We are excited to be playing lots of new original music in our first live show in over a year on Jan 12th 2013 at Merlin’s Sun Theatre. Merlin's Sun is our favourite house-concert venue...if you've never been you will be pleasantly surprised. With Rob Cheramy -guitar, Monik Nordine -saxes, James Young -bass, Jon Miller -drums.
