Saxophonist-composer-bandleader Joel Miller continues to push boundaries of creativity and genre with his large ensemble project UNSTOPPABLE. Launched as the opening concert of L’OFF Festival de Jazz de Montreal, his “epic fantasy” showcases an orchestra of Jazz and Classical musicians. Dan McClenaghan in All About Jazz wrote, “Miller... seems to be telling us intricate and riveting stories... bringing Walt Disney's 1940 animated film Fantasia to mind.”

Saxophonist-composer Joel Miller grew up with a musical family in Sackville, New Brunswick. He got his passion for jazz music from his mother and her record collection, but his bass-playing brother Andrew, who suggested the saxophone at the dinner table one evening. Andrew said to a ten-year old Joel, “You know, the instrument that Zoot on the Muppet Show plays”. 

His dedication has been recognized with a long list of honours including a Juno award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album (Swim) and ECMA awards for his albums Swim (2012 Origin Records), Dream Cassette (2016 Origin Records) and UNSTOPPABLE (2019 Multiple Chord Music). Joel lives in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
