Jozef Dumoulin (born 27 April 1975[ citation needed ]) is a Belgian jazz musician and composer. He plays Fender Rhodes, keyboards and piano.
Dumoulin was born in Ingelmunster, in rural Belgium. [1] He became interested in jazz in his late teens, by hearing Keith Jarrett and Kenny Kirkland. [1] He initially played the piano, but owned a Fender Rhodes when he was studying jazz in Cologne when he was in his early twenties. [1]
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. [1] From then, he began experimenting with the sounds that it could make and how they could be altered using effects. [1]
In 2011 and 2013 Dumoulin recorded with the sextet Bureau of Atomic Tourism. [2]
Dumoulin recorded a wholly improvised solo Fender Rhodes album that was released in 2014. [3] 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." [1] 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). [1] 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." [1]

The Rhodes piano is an electric piano invented by Harold Rhodes, which became popular in the 1970s. Like a conventional piano, the Rhodes generates sound with keys and hammers, but instead of strings, the hammers strike thin metal tines, which vibrate next to an electromagnetic pickup. The signal is then sent through a cable to an external keyboard amplifier and speaker.
