About Joseph Patrick Moore
Joseph Patrick Moore is an American musician from Knoxville, Tennessee, United States. He is a bass player, composer, arranger and record producer who has played alongside Colonel Bruce Hampton, Earl Klugh, Stewart Copeland, John Popper, and Derek Trucks. In 2003, he founded Blue Canoe Records, the internet's first all-digital independent jazz label; he co-owns the label with Travis Prescott. One of Moore's first teachers was Rusty Holloway, an instructor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, who himself had played with Woody Herman and Dizzy Gillespie, among others. In 1996, Moore released his first solo album, Never Never Land, which he financed, arranged, and produced—at the time, an unusual move for a jazz musician.
