89 years young today. Happy birthday to the greatest friend I have ever had, the one and only Pierre Favre.

A drummer, a poet, a force of nature. Decades of music, laughter, and wisdom shared. There is no one quite like you, Pierre, and this world is richer for every year you have been in it.

Wishing you a beautiful day surrounded by love. 🥁❤️

Thrilled to be playing the XO1236RLO. Designed for players who demand flexibility, depth, and control, this horn creates a powerful connection between me and the audience while blending beautifully within the ensemble. Loving every moment with it.

Thank you XO Brass for building instruments that truly serve the music.

Thrilled to announce that I am officially joining the Jupiter family! Representing Jupiter worldwide alongside XO Brass is something I am truly proud of, and I cannot wait to share what we have in store together.

.Thrilled to be part of "Around Miles – Miles Davis, un siècle dans l'air du temps" at on May 21st.

Miles Davis is one of the musicians who has influenced my playing more than anyone. Being part of this tribute means the world to me.

I can't think of a better way to celebrate his legacy than sharing the stage with my dear friends Miles Evans and Soweto Kinch. Miles Evans and I first played together in La Chaux-de-Fonds when I was 13 — 32 years later, here we are again, this time performing his father's arrangements.

With the Conservatoire Big Band Corbak, Matthieu Michel, Carlos Leal, Grégoire Maret, Elina Duni, Faby Medina, Shems Bendali, Mallika Hermand.
