After three months there, playing, jamming and absorbing as much music as possible, he decided to record an album, “Following The Sun”, a capsule of his Big Apple experience.Surrounded by a top-flight team of saxophonist Dayna Stephens, pianist Aaron Parks, double bassist Joe Martin and drummer Kush Abadey, the Frenchie didn't flinch, drawing on his sporting past to give his all and demonstrate that he's one of the new masters of his instrument.A metaphor for his adventure, his Following the Sun, rooted in the very heart of today's jazz, sounds like a quest for the light that enables all living beings to grow and develop, and which might otherwise be called inspiration.

Après trois mois sur place à jouer, jammer et absorber autant de musique que possible, il a décidé d'y enregistrer un album, "Following The Sun", capsule de son expérience de la Grosse Pomme.Entouré d'une équipe de haut vol, formée du saxophoniste Dayna Stephens, du pianiste Aaron Parks, du contrebassiste Joe Martin et du batteur Kush Abadey, le Frenchie n'a pas flanché, puisant dans son passé de sportif les ressources pour donner le meilleur de lui-même et démontrer qu'il compte parmi les nouveaux maitres de son instrument.Métaphore de son aventure, son Following the Sun, ancré au plus vif du jazz actuel, sonne comme une quête de cette lumière qui permet à tout être vivant de croître et se développer, et qu'on pourrait autrement appeler l'inspiration.
