Simon Moullier Quartet \u2014 Modern Vibraphonism with Jazz Roots<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simon Moullier<\/strong> is an award-winning vibraphonist, composer, and arranger who has established himself as one of the most outstanding voices of his generation. Recognized by the Grammys<\/strong> as one of the emerging jazz artists to watch in 2023, he trained under figures such as Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and Jimmy Heath<\/strong> at the Thelonious Monk Institute, and with Darren Barrett<\/strong> at Berklee. Moullier combines impressive technical mastery with deep musical sensitivity, evident in his collaborations with Gerald Clayton, Terri-Lyne Carrington, Ben Wendel,<\/strong> and the SFJAZZ Collective<\/strong>, as well as recordings with Mark Turner, Kendrick Scott,<\/strong> and Miguel Zen\u00f3n<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As a bandleader, he has released five albums, including Elements of Light<\/strong> (2024), and has received accolades such as Rising Star Vibraphonist<\/strong> in DownBeat<\/em>, 25 for the Future<\/em>, Up-and-Comer of the Year<\/strong> in New York City Jazz Record<\/em>, and recognition for his arranging work on Grammy-winning albums. His music, as Herbie Hancock<\/strong> notes, \u201cis fresh, speaks to everyone. I had never heard anyone play the vibraphone like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moullier<\/strong>\u2019s quartet presents an entirely original repertoire, featuring compositions written years ago but reimagined today with new life. Their pieces combine deep melodies and harmonies with a danceable pulse, rooted in swing and blues, shaded with impressionistic colors and Brazilian influences. The relationship between piano and vibraphone creates a fusion of timbres that almost feels like a third invisible instrument, reinforcing the unique character of their sound.<\/p>\n

Active on the international circuit, Simon<\/strong> has performed at landmark clubs and festivals such as Village Vanguard, Blue Note Tokyo, Beijing<\/strong>, Jazz en T\u00eate, Festival Radio France Montpellier, Chiapas Marimba Festival,<\/strong> and International Jazz Day<\/strong> in Havana and Saint Petersburg. He also teaches at institutions such as Berklee, USC, The New School,<\/strong> and the Royal Conservatory of The Hague<\/strong>, sharing his innovative approach and passion for improvisation and composition.<\/p>\n

Why shouldn\u2019t you miss him?<\/strong>
Because Simon Moullier<\/strong> turns every concert into a journey of technique, emotion, and exploration: vibraphone and piano merge to create contemporary jazz that is vibrant, elegant, and deeply expressive, where tradition and modernity coexist naturally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
