#Résidence Nathan Mollet

LINE UP:NATHAN MOLLET keyboardsTBANathan Mollet's music is an invitation to intimacy, carried by a piano that whispers as much as it bursts. At the crossroads of jazz, contemporary music, and improvisation, he weaves a deeply vibrant universe, in constant exploration.

There is something profoundly personal, almost introspective, in Nathan Mollet's music. A delicate, sensitive writing, shaped over the years at the intersection of intuition and meticulous work. His projects, the fruit of long hours of research and piano playing, were born from a simple but essential desire: to create a sincere connection with the listener, to invite them into a universe where each note tells an emotion, a moment, a breath.

Trained by great jazz masters – Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, Hank Jones – and influenced by contemporary artists such as Pat Metheny, Avishai Cohen, Ben Wendel, Tigran Hamasyan, or Pedro Martins, Nathan develops a musical language that is both rooted in tradition and resolutely forward-looking.

From childhood, he improvised, invented loops, played with silences and surprises. The piano became for him a space of total freedom, capable of expressing gentleness as much as impetus, contemplation as much as audacity. With an ever-widening palette of nuances, he explores varied emotional territories, leaving room for the unexpected, the sensitive, the living.

Alongside jazz, his compositions now open up to other aesthetics: pop, electronic music, folk, or alternative. His inspirations are multiple – from The Beatles to Radiohead, via Nick Drake, Saya Gray, Sampha, or Louis Cole – and enrich a singular, hybrid, poetic sound universe.

During his residency at Baiser Salé, Nathan will be surrounded by musicians who will punctuate each concert with new colours. More than just a series of dates, this residency is conceived as a creative laboratory, a ground for experimentation.
