Musician

Daniel Humair

Born:

Daniel Humair was born in Geneva, Switzerland on May 23, 1938. Humair played clarinet and drums from the age of seven and won a competition for jazz playing in his teens.

Paris has traditionally provided a Mecca for exiled jazz musicians - by the time he was 20 Humair was accompanying these visiting heroes from the drums. Most celebrated was a season with tenor saxophonist Lucky Thompson at a club called Le Chat Qui Pèche. Humair became the drummer American musicians would ask to work with (despite a gig with the Swingle Singers in the early 60s).

In 1967 he played on violinist Jean-Luc Ponty's debut Sunday Walk (also contributing the title track)
