The Molten Jazz Project are a South West-based quartet formed through the region’s jam scene, built on long-standing musical connections and a shared love of live improvisation.
The band features Tom Ball on organ, laying down deep, driving basslines and rich harmonic textures; Jesse Mollins on guitar, a constant force on the local scene and founder of the long-running Ashburton ‘AshJam’ sessions; Harry Dowell on tenor sax, delivering both lyrical lines and high-energy bursts with instinctive musicality; and Josh Rose on drums, providing a dynamic foundation that balances groove, space, and momentum.
Together, the four musicians bring their individual voices into a cohesive, high-energy collective that thrives on interaction and spontaneity. Each performance is shaped by their chemistry and years of shared experience on stage, resulting in music that feels alive, responsive, and full of character. Expect a night of instinctive playing, strong musical personalities, and a band that leans fully into the moment.
