John Nicholson has made a name for himself across Canada as a saxophonist with a beautiful sound and lyrical improvisations. He's worked on stage and in studio with Hugh Jackman, Serena Ryder, Jason Collete, Zeus, LOONY, and Daniel Caesar keyboardist and producer Akeel Henry, and with many top jazz artists including Adrean Farrugia, Kelly Jefferson, Alex Dean, Chase Sanborn, Andrew Downing, John Korsrud, Brad Turner, David Restivo, Bill Coon, Jodi Proznick, Russ Little, Pat Collins, Alison Young, Tony Wilson, and more.
With his trio and quartet, John's instantly recognizable sound is at the fore, pleasing audiences and always making guests ask who the great jazz band was and whether they can book them too.

Yes, we can play music from our amplifiers or through a house sound system if available. We're happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client do so.
I worked in Hugh Jackman's orchestra on his world tour. Scotiabank Arena in Toronto was so smooth and welcoming, and the audience was on fire.
We love all sorts, but cocktail hour at a wedding is where we feel the most at home. Seeing everyone dressed to the nines and feeling so joyful and enjoying the music always makes our day.
We started gigging together during our studies in Capilano University's Jazz Studies program, mainly at corporate events, and have never stopped. We've now got nearly 15 years of experience behind us, at recording studios, on stages, at various events and weddings all across Canada.
John Coltrane is without a doubt the greatest influence on our sound, we've learned a ton from his recordings.
