Ma mère possédait une imposante batterie de bassines à lessive, et j'improvisais alors librement avec ces nombreuses sonorités différentes. |Création du groupe de rock "Les Excommunicated Archbishops": reprises de morceaux rock et musique Hendrixienne. | Dans les années 70, je me produis avec des amis musiciens dans des animations de villages, festivités diverses, bals folks, jouant violon et percussions, avec une nette inclinaison pour la musique africaine et la World Music. | En 1976, je m’installe quelques temps à Chartres et deviens le batteur du groupe CAMIZOLE, très orienté vers le Free-Jazz et les Musiques Improvisées. | A l’issue de cette expérience troublante et profondément marquante, je choisis une orientation professionnelle dans le secteur social (Educateur spécialisé, institution et milieu ouvert). | Dans ce cadre professionnel, je me forme parallèlement à la pratique de la musicothérapie

SOUL

Born: December 25

Soul is phenomenally successful instrumentalist who is on the verge of changing instrumental music as we hear it today. Soul's sound has been a staple on adult contemporary and smooth jazz audiences, making him a household name. Soul is a fine player with an attractive sound (influenced by Kenny G) that often caresses melodies, putting a lot of emotion into his solos. Because he does not improvise much (sticking mostly to predictable melody statements), his music largely falls outside of Jazz and into Soul/R&B. However, since he is a saxophonist, he is classified as Jazz. Chris Mitchell started performing with professionals such as Kyle Turner and Dean James in 2005
