Simon Moullier: Iron Giant
Ceiba—the sixth album in a discography that has been growing annually since 2020, both in size and significance—may be the recording that best captures that intensity to date. The compositions are consistently strong, the performances bristle with both energy and sophistication, and the interplay with Lex Korten (piano), Rick Rosato (bass), Jongkuk Kim (drums) and Keita Ogawa (percussion) often feels telepathic.
Named after the majestic tropical tree that can live for centuries and reach extraordinary heights—becoming a symbol of connection not only between earth and sky, but also between past and present—Ceiba offers an apt metaphor for Moullier's music, in which the voices of past masters converse with a distinctly contemporary creative vision, as heard on "Iron Giant," where deep roots lead to new highs.
