 French saxophonist (b. 1945), involved in jazz and free improvisation. First personal records (vinyls) for Hat Hut label, begining of 1980s. Played, toured and recorded  with a lot of imposing musicians - Carlos Zingaro, Raymond Boni, Joëlle Léandre, George Lewis, Michel Doneda, Lê Quan Ninh, Evan Parker, Joe McPhee, Paul Rogers,  Paul Lovens, Phil Minton, J-F. Pauvros, Roger Turner…
 Likes to perform in solo, duet and small groups allowing strong interplay. One could define his playing in terms of expressivity, «cubism» or abstract lyricism.
