Stéphane Belmondo is a celebrated French jazz trumpeter, flugelhornist, and composer known for his lyrical playing style and deep-rooted passion for improvisation. Born on July 8, 1967, in Hyères, Southern France, music has been an integral part of Belmondo's life from a young age, inspired by his father who was an amateur jazz musician.

With his versatility and profound musicality, Stéphane Belmondo's discography embraces an eclectic range of inspirations, from the psychedelic edges of rock in "Deadjazz (Plays The Music of the Grateful Dead)" to the pure, intimate jazz tributes such as "Love for Chet," honoring the great Chet Baker. Works like "Brotherhood" and "2.0" showcase his contemporary outlook on jazz, while atmospherically rich recordings like "Mediterranean Sound" reflect his capacity to capture diverse cultural sentiments within his compositions. Belmondo's dedication to his craft and his ability to transcend genres have made him a beloved figure in the realm of modern jazz.
