Ryan Oliver, a Juno-nominated saxophonist based in Victoria, has carved his musical journey along Canada’s west coast and beyond, with stints in Amsterdam, Toronto, and New York City. Renowned as one of Canada’s foremost saxophonists, Oliver boasts an impressive resume spanning continents.

He’s a familiar face on the global jazz circuit, having toured extensively with the iconic jazz-funk ensemble, The Shuffle Demons, captivating audiences across Canada, India, Australia, New Zealand, South America, Europe, and the United States.

Co-leading The Cookers Quintet, Oliver has left an indelible mark on the Canadian jazz scene, with numerous recordings and broadcasts under their belt, including a notable live video broadcast for CBC. Their partnership with Toronto-based Do Right Music has yielded four acclaimed albums, with the latest, “Live In Vancouver,” slated for release in May 2024 under the banner of Ryan Oliver Quartet. For this performance Oliver’s quartet will present some of the spiritual music of the great John Coltrane.

The quartet includes Dr. Tony Genge- piano, Ken Lister- bass and John Lee- drums
