Simon Mogul is a 26-year-old Tenor Saxophonist originally from Miami (FL), currently based in New York City. Simon's artistic vision fuses a deep respect for jazz’s rich history—channeling legends like John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins—with contemporary sounds and ideas, creating a vibe that honors the lineage while sounding fresh and forward-thinking. Simon has performed with jazz luminaries such as Curtis Lundy, Matt Wilson, Arturo O'Farill, Phillip Harper, Bobby Watson, Jeremy Pelt, Warren Wolf, and Marc Cary at prominent NYC venues such as Smalls, Birdland, Minton's Playhouse, The Django, and many others. In 2025, Simon received a grant from the South Arts foundation to take his band on a national tour to support the release of his debut album, which will be released February 20th, 2026. Simon will make his festival debut at the Plaza Jazz Fest in Havana in January 2026.

As a music educator, Simon has taught students of all ages and backgrounds, in a wide variety of educational settings. Simon has worked as an Ensemble Coach within the City College of New York's Jazz Studies program, and currently serves as a saxophone mentor to formerly incarcerated individuals through the Music on the Inside organization.
