Grégoire Maret & friends

Swiss harmonica player based in New York for more than thirty years, Grégoire Maret has established himself in the modern jazz scene by expanding the role of the harmonica across a wide variety of styles. A multiple Grammy Award winner, he has collaborated with Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Cassandra Wilson and Marcus Miller, as well as Prince, Sting, Elton John, Dianne Reeves, Youssou N’Dour and George Benson. He has also appeared alongside Richard Bona, Terri Lyne Carrington, Kurt Elling, Jeff "Tain" Watts, Charlie Hunter, Me’Shell Ndegeocello, David Sanborn and many others, both in the studio and on stage.

On April 6, 2026 at L’Européen in Paris, Grégoire Maret presents Grégoire Maret & Friends. For the occasion he invites Vincent Peirani, Jacky Terrasson, Sarah Lancman, David Donatien and other close collaborators. The evening is conceived around his instrument, driven by collective listening and interactive playing, to explore its timbre and possibilities at the intersection of jazz and related musical genres.
