There is something deeply personal, almost introspective, in Nathan Mollet's music. A subtle, sensitive style, shaped over the years at the intersection of intuition and meticulous work. His projects, the result of long hours of research and piano playing, are born from a simple but essential desire: to create a sincere connection with the listener, to invite them into a world where each note recounts 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.Ever since childhood, he improvised, invented loops, and played with silences and surprises. The piano has become for him a space of total freedom, capable of expressing both gentleness and impetus, contemplation and audacity. With an ever-expanding palette of nuances, he explores varied emotional territories, leaving room for the unexpected, the sensitive, and the alive.In addition to jazz, his compositions now extend to other aesthetics: pop, electronic music, folk, and alternative. His inspirations are multiple—from the Beatles to Radiohead, via Nick Drake, Saya Gray, Sampha, and Louis Cole—and enrich a unique, hybrid, and poetic sound universe.During his residency at Baiser Salé, Nathan will be surrounded by artists who will punctuate each concert with new colors.

Il y a dans la musique de Nathan Mollet quelque chose de profondément personnel, presque introspectif. Une écriture fine, sensible, façonnée au fil des années à la croisée de l’intuition et du travail minutieux. Ses projets, fruit de longues heures de recherche et de jeu au piano, sont nés d’un désir simple mais essentiel : créer un lien sincère avec l’auditeur, l’inviter dans un univers où chaque note raconte une émotion, un instant, une respiration.Formé au contact des grands maîtres du jazz – Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, Hank Jones – et influencé par des artistes contemporains comme Pat Metheny, Avishai Cohen, Ben Wendel, Tigran Hamasyan ou Pedro Martins, Nathan développe un langage musical à la fois ancré dans la tradition et résolument tourné vers l’avenir.Dès l’enfance, il improvisait, inventait des boucles, jouait avec les silences et les surprises. Le piano est devenu pour lui un espace de liberté totale, capable d’exprimer autant la douceur que l’élan, la contemplation que l’audace. Avec une palette de nuances toujours plus large, il explore des territoires émotionnels variés, laissant place à l’imprévu, au sensible, au vivant.En parallèle du jazz, ses compositions s’ouvrent aujourd’hui à d’autres esthétiques : la pop, les musiques électroniques, le folk ou l’alternatif. Ses inspirations sont multiples – des Beatles à Radiohead, en passant par Nick Drake, Saya Gray, Sampha ou Louis Cole – et viennent enrichir un univers sonore singulier, hybride, poétique.Lors de sa résidence au Baiser Salé, Nathan sera entouré qui viendront ponctuer chaque concert de couleurs nouvelles. Plus qu’une simple série de dates, cette résidence est pensée comme un laboratoire de création, un terrain d’expérimentation où le partage et l’émotion sont au cœur de chaque performance.
