Karim Maurice was born in Grenoble, France in 1976. He attended both classic and jazz
classes at the National Conservatory of Music of Grenoble and Chambéry, where he studied
the piano, musical writing, composition, arrangement and orchestration.
After getting four Diplomas of Musical Studies, and being awarded with two Prizes for his
musical composition from the SACEM (ASSOCIATION OF COMPOSERS AND MUSIC
PUBLISHERS) in 1997 and 1998, he was accepted to the Higher National Conservatory for
Music and Dance of Lyon and obtained First Prize of composition and orchestration in 2003.
After graduating in musicology, he got a specific jazz Diploma of State and a Vocational
Certificate of Contemporary Music. He is now working as a teacher and a coordinator at the
Department of Contemporary Music of the National Conservatory in Annecy.
With his first bands, he tried to develop a crossed musical universe, combining techniques of
writing and forms of classic music with the techniques of jazz improvisation.
Prize-winner of the Springboard Jazz Savoy 2003 with the quintet " Chéro ", he made
numerous opening acts, in particular that of Wayne Shorter in 2005 at the « Grenoble Jazz
Festival »
In the same year, he created the first project under his name, the "Karim Maurice Quartet"
and in 2006, he recorded the Album " Afromantic ".
His artistic activity as a pianist-composer-arranger brought him to work with lots of artists and
professional orchestras from various aesthetics with which he performed on the national and
international stage.
Following these key meetings, he wrote the album " the diskord " under the name of "Karim
Maurice Project" in 2007: a repertoire merging the specific writings of a string quartet and a
jazz quintet, in an impressionistic universe tinged with groove and was accompanied by
Pierre Drevet, Emmanuel Scarpa, Pierre-Antoine Badaroux and Joachim Florent.
This work had been broadcast on the French national radio station France Musique during a
concert given at the Jazz Festival of Ramatuelle, where he got the award of Best Newcomer
2008.
Jazzman always on the lookout for artistic melting pots, he created the "Karim Maurice
Quintet" and "Karim Maurice Trio" in 2007, improving his artistic universe with electro music,
keyboards and machines, in an original, modern and contemporary composition.
