Nicolas Masson
Nicolas Masson is a Swiss saxophonist, composer, and bandleader known for his introspective, genre-blurring approach to modern jazz. Based in Geneva, he’s carved out a space where atmospheric improvisation meets intricate compositions, often collaborating with musicians like pianist Roberto Pianca and drummer Emanuele Maniscalco. His projects, including the exploratory trio Third Reel (responsible for albums like *Third Reel* and *Third Reel: Many More Days*), blend acoustic spontaneity with subtle electronic textures, creating soundscapes that feel both cerebral and emotionally resonant. Recent releases like *Anemona* and *Subversive Dreamers* showcase his knack for balancing melodic warmth with rhythmic experimentation, while *Travelers* and *Departures* hint at his fascination with movement and transformation. Whether leading his own groups or contributing to collaborative efforts, Masson’s work feels like a quiet rebellion against jazz conventions—a vibe that’s earned him a cult following among listeners who crave depth and subtlety.
