..."Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity"...
Charles MINGUS
I studied electric and double bass in France with Yves Torchinsky (Orchestre de contrebasses, Orchestre national de Jazz, René Urtreger Trio...)
I am glad I met and played with Louis Sclavis, Jean Pierre Como, Erik Truffaz, Louis Moutin, James Kay Smith, David Linx, Sylvain Beuf, Flavio Boltro (Tourcoing Jazz Festival).
After a first personal project demo recorded in quartet with Thibaut Hien (sax & flute), Franck Dhersin (piano) and Laurent Mercier (drums), I left France in 2006 to New York to join the Cultural Services of the French Embassy to work with Emmanuel Morlet. I worked for the French American Jazz and Contemporary Music Funds in collaboration with FACE Foundation and Chamber Music Americaand for the Louisiana Recovery Fund .
I also worked with both the Cultural Services the French Export Music Office in New York for the organization of the 34th IAJE* Conferenceduring which I co-organized the two-week-long French Quarter Jazz Festival in New York City, Washington and New Orleans; in collaboration with the French Cultural Services and the French Music Export Office.
I am glad I met great musicians like Terence Blanchard, Eric Johnson, Lou Donaldson, Akiko Tsuruga, Riccardo Del Fra, Ari Hoenig, Mino Cinelu, Joe Lovano, Gato Barbieri, Al Di Meola and Jim Hall.
