Jupiter Band instruments has announced the addition of John Richardson to their brand management team as their woodwind brand manager starting in mid-February

Richardson comes to KHS America from Miles Ahead Music in Kentucky where he helped grow a small specialty storefront business into a two location school music retailer. His prior experience in the musical instrument industry was at Don Wilson Music in Lexington, KY.

John brings to Jupiter an extensive performing and teaching background.  He earned his B.M. in Jazz Studies from Eastern Illinois University and an M.M. from the University of Kentucky. As the original director of the Jazz Arts Foundation Youth Ensemble in 1996, Mr. Richardson continued to lead the group for the first ten years of its existence. Before joining Miles Ahead Music, John taught courses at the University of Kentucky as the Graduate Assistant in Saxophone and Jazz, and as an adjunct instructor at Centre College, Transylvania University, Asbury College and Morehead State University. In the public schools he has been saxophone instructor at Lafayette H.S. and Scott County H.S. He has directed the jazz programs at Lafayette High School and Tates Creek High School and maintained a private studio of 30-40 students.

As a performer, Mr. Richardson is proficient in all idioms including jazz, rock, R&B, classical, pop and reggae, which has made him one of the most sought after saxophonists in the region. John has performed with many of the world's most influential artists, including Dizzy Gillespie, Mel Torme, Bobby Shew, Clark Terry, Dianne Shuur, The Temptations, Louie Bellson, Rufus Reid and Jerry Butler.

“We are happy to welcome John to the KHS America team” states Michael Robinson, KHS America director of marketing. “He brings a strong balance of industry experience, Music education background, and performance experience which will be invaluable to the growth of the Jupiter and Altus brands”.
