TJG Residency Commission '26 Presents Simon Moullier
The Jazz Gallery1160 Broadway, New York 10001
The Jazz Gallery’s TJG Residency Commission ’26 presents Simon Moullier. The billing identifies this as a Residency Commission presentation, but does not specify the lineup or formation for the night. Expect a program centered on Moullier’s work as a composer and vibraphonist, within the Gallery’s ongoing support for new compositions and collaborations.
French-born and based in New York City, Moullier is a vibraphonist, composer and arranger recognized by The Jazz Gallery for an “entirely new approach and sound” on the instrument. His work includes recordings with Gerald Clayton, Ben Wendel, Terri Lyne Carrington, Buster Williams, Mark Turner, Kendrick Scott and Miguel Zenón. He contributed Grammy-winning arranging to Carrington’s New Standards Vol. 1 and has received DownBeat’s Rising Star Vibraphonist recognition. DownBeat has praised the “finesse on vibraphone” that brings elegance to his music, while JazzTimes calls him “a lyrical voice on vibes,” noting his sense of how notes can “resonate sympathetically with the human heart.”
The Jazz Gallery offers a focused listening room experience on the fifth floor of a Midtown office building, where the audience gathers to hear progressive jazz performed by emerging and established artists. The space is designed to highlight the music without distractions: seating is arranged to bring listeners close to the performers, fostering a direct connection with the sound. There is no food service, but a bar is available, and ticket prices are modest, encouraging accessibility. Shows typically run from 7 to 11 pm on select nights, featuring multiple sets that invite deep engagement rather than casual socializing. The venue’s commitment to artistic growth is evident in its support for new compositions and collaborations, making an evening here a chance to witness jazz as a living, evolving art form in a setting that respects both the musicians and the audience.
