Joseph Patrick Moore
Whether recording as a solo artist, performing as a member of E.M.P. Project, or touring as a sideman, Joseph Patrick Moore has demonstrated the diversity of his musical prowess across a broad spectrum of musical genres while utilizing acoustic upright, electric, and fretless basses.
Moore's fascination with music began at a young age. With encouragement from his family, Moore started playing alto saxophone at age eight before switching to drums and then later bass in high school. Following high school, Moore attended the University of Tennessee at Knoxville (UTK) on a full scholarship to pursue double and electric bass studies with a major in both classical and jazz performance. In order to experience more performance opportunities, Moore transferred to the University of Memphis after 2 1/2 years at UTK and eventually relocated to Atlanta in 1997 where he continues to reside today.
Upon his arrival in Atlanta, Moore joined the Fiji Mariners which featured Col. Bruce Hampton. As a member of the Fiji Mariners, Moore played alongside a number of notable artists who would frequently sit in with the group. After his stint with the Fiji Mariners, Moore spent the next few years performing regularly in the Atlanta area and also on tours that spanned the United States.
Consisting of drummer William Ellis, guitarist Shawn Perkinson, and Moore on bass, E.M.P. Project released their self-titled, debut recording as a trio in 2002. Their original repertoire merges the explorative sounds of traditional jazz with bop, latin, and contemporary jazz.
In 2003, Moore established the first "all digital," independent jazz recording label, Blue Canoe Records, and to share the experience he had acquired over the years as a musician, Moore joined the faculty of MusicDojo where he instructs students located around the world through his online music courses.
Since 1996, Moore has completed 5 projects as a solo artist and has appeared as a sideman on over 40 recordings by a variety of artists. In April, 2005, Moore recorded his first live CD, Live In 05.
