Bio:
Simon Mogul is a 23-year-old Tenor Saxophonist originally from Miami (FL), currently studying at the Manhattan School of Music. 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's quintet was recently selected as a semi-finalist of the internationally renowned Bucharest Jazz Competition, for the summer of 2023. In his short time in New York City, Simon has already performed with NYC jazz luminaries such as Matt Wilson, Mimi Jones, Valery Ponomarev, Stacy Dillard, and Jason Clotter. ____________________________________________________________
