“Tixier swings with rare authority and ingenuity. An invigorating set from the future of jazz violin” Downbeat
Scott Tixier is a 6-time GRAMMY award-winning French jazz violinist and 2018 DownBeat Critic Poll Winner. He has performed, recorded, and toured with jazz legends and music icons such as Stevie Wonder, Kenny Barron, Elton John, Pink Floyd, Chaka Khan, Earth Wind & Fire, Ed Sheeran, Cassandra Wilson, Coldplay, Chris Potter, John Legend, Adele, Christina Aguilera, Natalie Cole, Anthony Braxton, Ariana Grande and many others.
Tixier studied classical violin at the conservatory in Paris. Following that, he studied improvisation as a self-educated jazz musician. He was based in New York for over a decade where he performed in all the major venues across the United States including Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, Madison Square Garden, Barclays Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Blue Note Jazz Club, Apollo Theater, Smalls Jazz Club, The Stone, and U.S. Capitol.
In addition to performing in and out of the jazz world, Tixier is known for his work on motion picture scores such as The Lion King, John Wick, Charlie’s Angels and TV shows including “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” on NBC, “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” as well as the previous format with David Letterman, “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” “America’s Got Talent” and most recently with Netflix for Spike Lee’s new film in collaboration with composer Terence Blanchard (released in 2020). In 2022, he was the featured soloist for Jon Batiste’s American Symphony premiere at Carnegie Hall.
Grammy Award-winning bassist Marcus Miller says that Tixier “made an international name for himself. I heard him in France and was immediately struck by his individuality and his sound.” Guitarist Pat Metheny says, “[Scott] has found a place for himself within the elite community of New York jazz musicians, no small feat.” And Jean-Luc Ponty said, “I have heard Scott’s recordings, seen his live performances and I think that he stands above the crowd of current jazz violinists around the world.”
