"He's one of the most creative musicians around."- Herbie Hancock?? "Gregoire Maret is an exceptional young musician who is taking the harmonica to an exciting new place in jazz." - Pat Metheny??"He is carrying the instrument into the 21st century ?with prowess, passion and creativity." - Marcus Miller?? "Whenever he lifts his instrument to his lips...we are transported with a sweet yet powerful intensity to a higher plane." - Cassandra Wilson??

Over the course of the past decade, Gregoire Maret has emerged as a unique and compelling new voice across a wide spectrum of the modern jazz world. That his chosen instrument - the harmonica - is a relative rarity in the genre is one element in his singular sound, but far from the whole explanation. After all, the extensive list of heavy-hitters who have enlisted him for their own projects is unparalleled: Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Cassandra Wilson, and Marcus Miller are some of his most prominent employers, none of whom have the patience to employ novelty for novelty's sake. His guest appearances on recording sessions and concert stages expand that list to even more jaw-dropping proportions: Raul Midon, Jimmy Scott, John Ellis, Jacky Terrasson, Richard Bona, Sean Jones, Terri Lyne Carrington, Kurt Elling, Lionel Loueke, Mike Stern, and Charlie Hunter have all made use of Maret's unmatched palette of color. More recently, he's worked alongside some of the biggest names in music, including Elton John, Sting, and Prince.
