SIMON MOGUL

Simon Mogul is a 23-year-old Tenor Saxophonist originally from Miami (FL), currently based in New York City. Simon's music fuses a respect and understanding of jazz's past (channeling saxophonists such as the great John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins) with modern genres, such as Hip Hop and R&B.  Simon completed his first international tour in the Summer of 2022, touring South Africa, and playing sets of almost all original music. The tour was well received, and was covered by South African national media. Simon leads an award-winning quintet that was selected as a semifinalist in two of the most renowned jazz competitions in the world for the summer of 2023, the Bucharest International Jazz Competition and the 7 Virtual Jazz Club. In his short time in New York City, Simon has already performed with NYC jazz luminaries such as Matt Wilson, Stacy Dillard, Valery Ponomarev, Jason Clotter, and Mimi Jones.
