Early 2012

My new album is out on Fresh Sound New Talent!

It features nine new compositions recorded with outstanding support from Ben Monder, Patrice Moret and Ted Poor.

Third Reel has spent three days recording original music at the Radio Svizzera Italiana's Auditorio Massimo. I can't wait to have this session mixed, mastered and released. Watch out for our upcoming debut record!

Lots and lots of great projects are planned for 2012, so stay tuned!

LATEST RELEASE:

"Departures" (FSNT 394) Fresh Sound/New Talent Records.

Listen! AMBER (N.Masson)

"This album is a demonstration of individual and collective intelligence, craft, and skill." Phil Freeman

"Swiss-born tenor saxophonist Nicolas Masson is a thoughtful composer and an improviser with golden tone and an obvious command of his instrument". Bill Milkowski

"The edges are too rough for ECM, where this music would otherwise sound at home. But Masson is too restless and ambitious to bend to that sound. There is much to admire here." C.Michael Bailey

"Departures is a very unique recording as Masson possesses a signature style that’s like no other (...) Departures is by far the most inimitable recording of 2011. Musical Notes

"A solid bet for downtown tastes that want to know they're in good hands". Chris Spector
