Spirited Jazz, Unitarian Jazz Vespers. Enjoy jazz with a splash of spiritual inspiration. First Unitarian Church of Victoria. Jon Miller Quartet, with Tony Genge, organ; Monik Nordine, saxophone; Rob Cheramy, guitar; Jon Miller, drums.

Back with fun and games, smiles and chuckles as guitar, sax and drums converse with the traditional swinging vibrations from the sounds of the B3 Hammond Organ to get feet tappin' and fingers snappin' with pure enjoyment.

The Jon Miller Quartet is a top-rated jazz group from Victoria that has been making waves on the B.C. jazz scene for several years running, both for its engaging live performances and for the depth and variety of its original compositions. The group's most recent iteration (AKA the Parallel Universe Band) features the amazing Tony Genge on Hammond B-3 Organ along with jazz guitar great Rob Cheramy, saxophonist extraordinaire Monik Nordine and leader Jon Miller on drums. The quartet's repertoire alternates original material by group members with classic organ-jazz in the vein of giants of the genre - Jimmy Smith, Brother Jack McDuff, Joey DeFrancesco and Larry Goldings.

Hard hitting and soulful, with an emphasis on swing, groove and blues inflected jazz, the Jon Miller Quartet invites audiences everywhere to join in their unique musical vision.

Enjoy jazz with a splash of spiritual inspirations in venues with exquisite sound and setting. These hour-long  services are a unique blend of jazz and spirituality. Each service brings together live music from popular local jazz musicians, a brief meaningful message, and a little of the history of the music performed.
