When Cyril ask me for my resume as a member of his band, I told him I preferred describing how happy I am to be a part of his trio, rather than talking about me.
I met Cyril 20 years ago in the “quartier jazz” of Paris.
We were both young and eager to learn and evolve in this type of music.
My love of jazz never faded even though I started working in pop music as a musician, producer, executive producer and arranger.
I have been lucky enough to work with Jean-Louis Murat, Henri Salvador, Jane Birkin, Jacques Dutronc, Alain Souchon, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Abd Al Malik, Benjamin Biolay, Johnny Hallyday, Carla Bruni, Françoise Hardy, Donovan…
The list could go on and on, not to impress anyone, but rather to show how lucky and grateful I am.
A thought never left my mind, keeping a foot in the world of improvised and non written music, the Jazz.
This is exactly what Cyril offers me. His songs are beautiful and inspiring.
The pleasure I have when playing with these two great musicians, remind me of my young musicians dream.
