Chairman/CEO of Tenacious Records, composer, arranger, producer, multi-instrumentalist actor, film composer, drum instructor, consultant for NATURELL CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL BLENDS, gourmet chef, massage therapist ALPHONSE MOUZON has been composing and producing beautiful music that has captivated and enthralled audiences throughout the world for over three decades.
ALPHONSE MOUZON (who is an African American mixed with French and Blackfoot Indian) was born on November 21st in Charleston, South Carolina. He attended Bonds-Wilson High School where he received his early musical training in the marching band led by music teacher and band leader Lonnie Hamilton. MOUZON took some jazz and funk drum lessons from Charles Garner. Following graduation from high school, he moved to New York to study music and drama at New York City College and medicine at Manhattan Medical School. MOUZON took drum lessons from jazz pianist Billy Taylor's drummer Bobby Thomas. While attending college, Alphonse played in the pit band of the hit Broadway show "PROMISES, PROMISES" after being recommended by Bobby Thomas. MOUZON also worked as a medical technologist at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital after graduating from Manhattan Medical School. However his medical career was short lived.
By 1969 his reputation as a player had spread to such an extent that a medical career was no longer attractive. By the early seventies, he had embarked upon a musical journey that would take him to almost every corner of the world and would establish his reputation as one the most creative musician of the era.
ALPHONSE MOUZON musical associations read like a veritable Who's Who of Modern Jazz and Pop Music. His talents cover a broad range of musical disciplines and philosophies. He was a charter member of the world famous Group Weather Report alongside keyboardist Joe Zawinul and saxophonist Wayne Shorter. He was the rhythmic foundation for the far reaching musical explorations of pianist McCoy Tyner. Mouzon signed as a solo artist to the Blue Note label in 1972. Alphonse Mouzon teamed up with guitarist Larry Coryell's Eleventh House fusion band from 1973-1975. His explosive power, style and speed helped propel this exceptional band to notoriety. After that , MOUZON was a member of Herbie Hancock's band from 1978 to the early 80s touring the world.
AlPHONSE MOUZON has also played and/or recorded with most of the active musicians of the jazz-fusion genre throughout his career. In 1991, he performed with Miles Davis on the movie soundtrack album entitled "Dingo". Miles Davis even spoke highly of Mouzon in his autobiography.
ALPHONSE MOUZON also led a successful life as a top ten Disco/Dance producer. He sold millions of records as the Founder/Leader/Producer of the the Internationally famous European flavored dance group POUSSEZ. MOUZON dance productions were big hits all over the world doing the late 70s, before disco came to a sudden death in the 80s. MOUZON is planning to bring back those European flavored disco/dance hits that he made so famous ("COME ON AND DO IT", "YOU'RE ALL I HAVE", "NEVER GONNA SAY GOODBYE", "BOOGIE WITH ME", "EVERYBODY GET DOWN", etc).
MOUZON has also played with and helped the early careers of Lee Ritenour, David Beniot, Gerald Albright, Sam Riney, Brandon Fields, Greg Karukas, Dave Koz, and Richard Elliot.
MOUZON's rock/pop credentials include gigs with no less respectable a crew than Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Carlos Santana, Patrick Moraz, Tommy Bolin and Chubby Checker. ROBERT PLANT, lead singer for the legendary rock group LED ZEPPELIN, named ALPHONSE MOUZON, during his acceptance speech for induction into the 1995 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, one of the band's major influences .
In 1992, ALPHONSE MOUZON formed TENACIOUS RECORDS and in 1992, released his TOP TEN CD entitled "THE SURVIVOR". Subsequent releases on Tenacious Records "ON TOP OF THE WORLD", "EARLY SPRING", "BY ALL MEANS", "LOVE FANTASY", "BACK TO JAZZ", "AS YOU WISH", "THE NIGHT IS STILL YOUNG", "THE SKY IS THE LIMIT", "DISTANT LOVER", "MORNING SUN", "ABSOLUTE GREATEST LOVE SONGS & BALLADS" and "LIVE IN HOLLYWOOD "were NUMBER ONE, TOP TEN, or TOP TWENTY CDs.
Besides radio, MOUZON's music has been aired on many TV series in the USA and all over the world.
ALPHONSE MOUZON's name can be found in just about every Jazz Encyclopedia/ Dictionary, and is listed the 2nd edition of Marquis Who's Who In Entertainment and Who's Who In The World. MOUZON was voted the 2 BEST MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST in the 1995 Jazziz Magazine Annual Readers Poll.
Besides recording and touring he also acts in different films.
ALPHONSE MOUZON composed the original music score for the brilliant short film by former jazz critic and now writer/director Dan Margules called BEGLEITER. MOUZON acted in and scored music for the 2007 feature film by actor/director Robert Davi (DIE HARD, THE PROFILER, LICENSE TO KILL) and Chazz Palminteri (A BRONX TALE, PUSH, SCAR CITY, KOJAK, ANALYZE THIS, RUNNING SCARED) called THE DUKES and in 1996, he acted and played drums in Tom Hank's movie "THAT THING YOU DO!". MOUZON can also be seen playing the flute next to Michael Keaton and Katie Holmes in the movie FIRST DAUGHTER.
ALPHONSE MOUZON is currently working on Jazz, Smooth Jazz and Film Scores, and Hip-Hop/Rap CDs which are scheduled to be released in late 2007 and the beginning of 2008.
