TECHNOPOLIS JAZZ FESTIVAL - MONCEF GENOUD

TECHNOPOLIS JAZZ FESTIVAL - MONCEF GENOUD

On the occasion of the Technopolis Jazz Festival in Athens, Flux Laboratory, in partnership with the Embassy of Switzerland in Greece is happy to present one of Switzerland's leadind Jazz artist, Moncef Genoud.

Born in 1961 in Tunis, Tunisia, Moncef was blind at birth. Flown to Switzerland to receive treatment on his eyes at the age of 2, he was adopted by a Swiss family shortly after. Blessed with a remarkable auditory memory that allowed him to learn and replicate any piece by ear, Moncef started to develop his own style.

A professional musician since 1983, Moncef quickly asserted himself as one of Switzerland’s leading Jazz artists, thanks in part to the body of work he assembled with his Trio. In the course of his career he has played with the likes of Bob Berg, Alvin Queen, Reggie Johnson, Harold Danko, John Stubblefield, Joe LaBarbera, Michael Brecker, Larry Grenadier, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Bill Stewart, Idris Muhammad, James Cammack, Jack DeJohnette, Tom Warrington, Scott Colley, and Grégoire Maret, among many others.
