Jozef Dumoulin (born 27 April 1975{{citation needed|date=April 2018}}) is a Belgian jazz musician and composer. He plays Fender Rhodes, keyboards and piano.

Early life

Dumoulin was born in Ingelmunster, in rural Belgium. He became interested in jazz in his late teens, by hearing Keith Jarrett and Kenny Kirkland. He initially played the piano, but owned a Fender Rhodes when he was studying jazz in Cologne when he was in his early twenties.

Later life and career

After his studies, Dumoulin got a regular job in Antwerp and began using the Fender Rhodes in preference to the poor quality piano that the venue possessed. From then, he began experimenting with the sounds that it could make and how they could be altered using effects.

In 2011 and 2013 Dumoulin recorded with the sextet Bureau of Atomic Tourism.Sharpe, John (October 2014) "Scintigraphy & Spinning Jenny B.O.A.T. (Bureau of Atomic Tourism) (Rat) The Evil Art Contest Marc Ducret/Teun Verbruggen/Nate Wooley (Rat)". The New York City Jazz Record.

Dumoulin recorded a wholly improvised solo Fender Rhodes album that was released in 2014.Hareuveni, Eyal (10 March 2014) [http://www.allaboutjazz.com/a-fender-rhodes-solo-jozef-dumoulin-bee-jazz-review-by-eyal-hareuveni.php "Jozef Dumoulin: A Fender Rhodes Solo (2014)"]. AllAboutJazz. 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." His 2015 album Trust was credited to The Red Hill Orchestra, but this consisted of Dumoulin (mainly Fender Rhodes), Ellery Eskelin (tenor sax) and Dan Weiss (drums).Margasak, Peter (July 2015) "Dumoulin Expands Palette". Down Beat. p. 16. 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."
