"Siegel is blazing a singular path through the landscape of creative jazz in the 21st century." —Earshot Jazz Magazine
"Siegel is an inventive composer and a phenomenal trombonist, her music radiates with such
creativity and depth.."—Jazz Views
"This album teems with thoughtfully written, beautifully performed, and emotionally evocative
music."—Rhythm of Study
An award-winning trombonist, improviser, composer, and educator, Naomi Moon Siegel is committed to creating a positive, transformative music culture beyond conventional genre norms. Her original musical vocabulary draws on the richness of a variety of global musical traditions and the sonorities of the natural world.
Siegel has been an innovative performer and recording artist since graduating from Oberlin Conservatory in 2006. She explores the trombone as a vehicle for sonic expression colored by breath, spit, and physicality. As a composer and bandleader, Siegel has released two albums to critical acclaim. Her third album, "Shatter The Glass Sanctuary," produced by Siegel and Allison Miller, is slated to come out in November 2024, inspired by the theme of holding paradox in our troublesome and beautiful world.
A longtime collaborator with Wayne Horvitz, Siegel has performed with such luminaries as Jessica Lurie, Matthew Golombisky, Carmen Staaf, March Fourth Marching Band, Allison Miller, Julian Priester, The California Honeydrops, Martha Scanlan, Stuart Dempster, Skerik, and Thione Diop. With saxophonist Kate Olson, Siegel formed the folk punk jazz duo Syrinx Effect, which has released 4 albums and performed around the United States.
Siegel is a recipient of Chamber Music America's Performance Plus Grant, Jazz Journalists Association's Jazz Hero Award, Montana Art Council's Artist Innovation Award, and an Earshot Jazz's Golden Ear Award for Emerging Artist of the Year. She was honored to be selected as a member of Mutual Mentorship for Musicians 4th cohort— a program started by Sara Serpa and Jen Shyu to empower and commission new compositions by historically underrepresented gender identities in music.
An adjunct professor of trombone at the University of Montana, Siegel is a dedicated music educator. She teaches guest artist clinics, private lessons, and is a faculty member at the Stanford Jazz Workshop. Siegel is a staunch advocate for intersectional gender justice in jazz and music settings, leading workshops to build awareness and work towards positive systemic shifts in our music culture.
