Musician

It was while blowing the foghorn on his father's boat that Julien Alour, a young man from Quimper who was then seven years old, discovered his passion for wind instruments, and soon for the trumpet. Maurice André and Dizzy Gillespie were also the two instrumentalists who would lead the novice to make this choice.

The following year, he enrolled at the Quimper Conservatory. The young musician was now on the path to classical music. A few years later, when the trumpeter was still hesitating between the Faculty and concertos, he met jazz musicians who would prove decisive. In 2001, he left his law degree, filled two suitcases with all his Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard and Roy Hargrove records, and moved to Paris. That same year, when he was 22, he joined the Belmondo brothers' school, the IACP, before returning to the CNSM two years later in the jazz and improvised music class.
