About

About Tamara

„Tamara Mozes is a pianist. A jazz singer. A composer. A thinking performer.”
Gyorgy Philipp, Prae, 2018
„Her name is Tamara Mozes, she puts together jazz and traditional music with a piano, with her voice and a looper that makes her able to multiply herself... and the result is astonishing. Just listen to her in silence.”
Fabrice Grosfilley, Brussels, 2019
„Here is a one-lady band and composer: playing, improvising, singing and vocalising...”
Alain Lambert, Musicologie.org, 2017
„It's a journey that she offers us, a journey without any artifice. It's always possible to find references among female jazz singers, but in her sound it's more proper to talk about a collage of classical, jazz and pop-rock elements.”
Nicolas Béniès, Le Souffle Bleu, 2017
„This young lady from Budapest has made a big impression on us thanks to her vocal and pianistic abilities.”
Pascal Derathé, Jazz-Rhône-Alpes, 2017
„This is pure jazz with a feeling, both modern and classic, with many references and persuasive technique all the while.”
Claire Jalmain, Crest, 2017

Ars Poetica

Music is a great universe and its effects are limitless. I love choosing what to make out of it and which way to go... and I love to go with others in this mystic labyrinth... There are no hierarchy among musical eras and styles; we can speak either the same musical language or different ones, interaction through sounds can bring us closer and we can be more connected, in our minds and in our souls.

„I've never experienced such emotional intensity in a concert. It's indescribable.
There is still no word to define Tamara Mozes.”
Florent Duprez, Brussels, 2019
