Maël Morel

Born in Pon­toise, he grew up by the sea and took up the saxo­phone at a very young age at the Gué­rande music school. His tea­cher, Chris­tophe Havard, soon pas­sed on his pas­sion for impro­vi­sa­tion to him. With him, Maël dis­co­ve­red not only jazz but also funk and contem­po­ra­ry music… And over the course of 10 years, he learnt an enor­mous amount from him. After his high school diplo­ma, he hea­ded to Rennes to pur­sue a degree in musi­co­lo­gy, fol­lo­wed by a DEM in Jazz in Saint-Brieuc, the crea­tion of nume­rous musi­cal pro­jects and many tra­vels… Per­for­ming both on stage with reg­gae, pro­gres­sive jazz and funk bands, and on the streets with various brass bands, Maël retains an over­flo­wing, visible and infec­tious ener­gy.
