Nathan Mollet

There is something deeply personal, almost introspective, about Nathan Mollet's music. His writing is refined and sensitive, shaped over the years by a combination of intuition and meticulous work. His projects, the result of long hours of research and piano playing, are born of a simple but essential desire: to create a sincere connection with the listener, inviting them into a world where each note conveys an emotion, a moment, a breath. Trained by the great masters of jazz—Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, Hank Jones—and influenced by contemporary artists such as Pat Metheny, Avishai Cohen, Ben Wendel, Tigran Hamasyan, and Pedro Martins, Nathan has developed a musical language that is both rooted in tradition and resolutely forward-looking. From childhood, he improvised, invented loops, played with silences and surprises. The piano became for him a space of total freedom, capable of expressing both gentleness and momentum, contemplation and audacity. With an ever-widening palette of nuances, he explores varied emotional territories, leaving room for the unexpected, the sensitive, the living. Alongside jazz, his compositions now embrace other styles: pop, electronic music, folk, and alternative. His inspirations are many—from the Beatles to Radiohead, Nick Drake, Saya Gray, Sampha, and Louis Cole—enriching a unique, hybrid, poetic soundscape. During his residency at Le Baiser Salé, Nathan will be accompanied by musicians who will bring new colors to each concert. More than just a series of dates, this residency is designed as a creative laboratory, a testing ground where sharing and emotion are at the heart of each performance.
