I was Born in Paris , France,  in July 1962 

Musical studies

I studied Classical sax with Two Marcel Mule disciples ;
first with Mr Michel Meriot at the "Conservatoire de Gagny" (My hometown)(1976/80),
and then with Mr Jacques Desloges at the "Conservatoire Nationale de Region" in Versailles(1980/84) .
After a little break , I studied at the C.I.M. (Famous French Jazz school) (1985/86) With Mr Claude Tissendier ( great Saxophonist , thanks for all Claude !)
Music is my job since 1987

I teach saxophone and flute in the Music school of Claye-Souilly,  (since 1988)
I have 30 students , all ages

Musical performance

I'm the 2nd alto (& Flute & Bass Clarinet)  of the Michel Legrand Big band.
with this band , my greatest memories ;

A Concert in Carnegie Hall (N.Y.) with pop Japan singer Riyoko Moriyama
A Concert with Phil Woods, I remember he played with the band at very fast tempo, hard for my fingers !!

I play also bary in a R&B band "Doctor no"

and rhythm section (with a big beat !)

I play Flute and Bary in a band named " L'Orchestre de La Lune "
