GOOD BOY

This isn't your grandfather's jazz.

French-Moroccan trumpeter Daoud delivers 36 minutes of pure fire—a groove-based explosion that mixes jazz, hip-hop, neo-soul, and electro with zero apologies.

Why Critics Can't Stop Playing It

"GOOD BOY has been playing nonstop ever since I got a review copy" — Jazz Views

Named one of TSF Jazz's Top Albums of 2024

The Real Deal

Before this debut, daoud spent years touring. He's lived it—homeless in Scotland, working funeral parlors between gigs, earning his chops the hard way.

Now he's leading his own fearless quintet, recorded live over two days in a converted French cinema. The result? A warm, muscular trumpet tone that flows like Chuck Mangione but hits like a freight train.

10 Tracks That Break Every Rule

From the jaunty opener “Ford Focus 1999” to the explosive “Quick (le restaurant),” this album does everything jazz purists say not to do—and sounds incredible doing it.

Stand-out moments:

• “Yes” — Breathy Chet Baker warmth that explodes into muscular blaring
• "Partir Un Jour" — A reimagined 1996 French pop hit
• “Who’s a Good Boy?” — The title track that challenges everything

Don't Just Listen to Jazz. Experience It.

36 minutes. 10 tracks. Zero compromises.
