Jozef Dumoulin

Jozef Dumoulin (born 27 April 1975) is a Belgian jazz musician and composer. He plays Fender Rhodes, keyboards and piano.

Early life Dumoulin was born in Ingelmunster, in rural Belgium.

Dumoulin recorded a wholly improvised solo Fender Rhodes album that was released in 2014. Commenting on his preference for improvisation at that stage, he commented that "Maybe one day I'll be able to write music bringing more things together, but for now I know that the best way to get in a zone is through improvisation." This contained Dumoulin's "spindly, shape-shifting post-bop compositions, where extended passages of free improvisation and quicksilver give-and-take connect groove-heavy themes."
