MENGENAI EPISOD INI
Simon Mogul is a young American jazz tenor saxophonist emerging from the New York jazz scene. In his mid-20s, Mogul has quickly developed a reputation as a technically strong and expressive improviser rooted in the post-bop tradition while remaining open to contemporary influences.
Active on the New York circuit, he has performed at leading venues including Smalls Jazz Club, Birdland, Minton’s Playhouse, and The Django. His playing reflects a lineage that connects classic tenor voices such as John Coltrane, Joe Henderson, and Michael Brecker with the rhythmic flexibility and harmonic openness of today’s NYC jazz community.
In 2026, Mogul released his debut album Simon Says, produced by bassist Curtis Lundy. The recording features Jeremy Pelt, Tyler Bullock, William Hill III, and Rodney Green, with Eric Kennedy appearing on several tracks. Mogul is part of a rising generation helping shape modern straight-ahead jazz.
