Cyril Guiraud

French-born saxophonist, composer, and producer based in San Francisco and Paris. I lead several projects spanning intimate duo settings to adventurous trio explorations.
My duo album with pianist Omree Gal-Oz, The Single Petal of a Rose, is out now. We recorded some of our favorite jazz ballads—Duke Ellington, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, Thelonious Monk—letting the compositions carry the emotion rather than showcasing solos.

New trio album Outer Reach with Brother Ruckus on drums and Gary Johnson on bass drops December 20. The first single "Northside Walk Up" is out now: https://lnk.to/northsidewalkup
Inspired by Sonny Rollins' East Broadway Run Down, we explore the raw freedom of the saxophone-bass-drums format—no chords, no hiding, just three musicians in constant dialogue.
I've performed at SF Jazz, Monterey Jazz Festival, Stern Grove Festival, and clubs across the US and Europe.
