Fidel Fourneyron

Fidel Fourneyron is a French trombonist, composer, and improviser who’s become a standout figure in Europe’s creative jazz and experimental music scenes. Known for his genre-blurring approach, Fourneyron mixes modern jazz with global folk traditions, electronic textures, and playful experimentation, as heard in releases like *OKO* and *Inlé*. His work often nods to Caribbean and Afro-Cuban rhythms (check out *I goué na dawan*’s Creole vibes) while keeping one foot firmly in avant-garde jazz, as seen in his reimagining of classics like *Un Poco Loco: Ornithologie*. A collaborator with artists like Médéric Collignon and key projects like TRIO or Troubadours, Fourneyron thrives on spontaneity—whether he’s crafting cinematic soundscapes (*Parking*) or paying homage to bebop legends (*Shaw Nuff*). His music feels both globally curious and deeply personal, like a passport stamped with brass melodies and boundary-pushing grooves.
