A Long and Rich History of Musical Excellence

John, founder of JZ Music Productions, has been a vibrant force in the Milwaukee music scene for more than 50 years. A lifelong performer, he formed his first band at just 13 and has been on stage ever since. After years of playing in prominent rock cover bands, he became part of the inaugural Bachelor of Jazz Performance program at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music—an experience that opened the door to a wide range of jazz collaborations.
Following his studies, John joined several influential groups, including Montage Project, the George Busateri Band, and his own ensemble, Rainbow’s End. Today, he continues to be an active and versatile performer with Jazz Flux, the Jayne Taylor Band, and multiple projects under his own direction.
In addition to his work as a bandleader and instrumentalist, John has served as a music contractor for notable touring acts, supporting performances for a Temptations tribute show and Mary Wilson of The Supremes.
