Belgian jazz musician and composer
Musical artist
Jozef Dumoulin (born 27 April 1975[citation needed]) is a Belgian jazz musician and composer. He plays Fender Rhodes, keyboards and piano.
Early life
Dumoulin was born in Ingelmunster, in rural Belgium.[1] He became interested in jazz in his late teens, by hearing Keith Jarrett and Kenny Kirkland.[1] He initially played the piano, but owned a Fender Rhodes when he was studying jazz in Cologne when he was in his early twenties.[1]
Later life and career
After his studies, Dumoulin got a regular job in Antwerp and began using the Fender Rhodes in preference to the poor quality piano that the venue possessed.[1] From then, he began experimenting with the sounds that it could make and how they could be altered using effects.[1]
In 2011 and 2013 Dumoulin recorded with the sextet Bureau of Atomic Tourism.[2]
Dumoulin recorded a wholly improvised solo Fender Rhodes album that was released in 2014.[3] Commenting on his preference for improvisation at that stage, he commented that "Maybe one day I'll be able to write music bringing more things together, but for now I know that the best way to get in a zone is through improvisation."[1] His 2015 album Trust was credited to The Red Hill Orchestra, but this consisted of Dumoulin (mainly Fender Rhodes), Ellery Eskelin (tenor sax) and Dan Weiss (drums).[1] This contained Dumoulin's "spindly, shape-shifting post-bop compositions, where extended passages of free improvisation and quicksilver give-and-take connect groove-heavy themes."[1]
