Son of a musician, was reared with the sound of his father's accordian.

In 1981, He began his musical career in the Hard-Rock and Metal styles. Curious and aware of every musical style, he studied classical guitar and became very interested in Jazz, Fusion and Flamenco.

In 1994, after a session with Romane, he decided to immerse himself in the music of Django Reinhardt and he took serious Jazz courses, notably with Pascal Rauzet, guitar teacher at Bordeaux's CIAM, and after with Jean-Yves MOKA.

In 1997, he founded the first version of Gipsy Jazz duet and later created Djangophil in 2000, while following at the same time lessons with Christophe Lartilleux (leader of Latcho Drom band).

Jazz pianist BRAD MEHLDAU has recorded and performed extensively since the early 1990s. Mehldau’s most consistent output over the years has taken place in the trio format. Starting in 1996, his group released a series of five records on Warner Bros. entitled The Art of the Trio (recently re-packaged and re-released as a 5-Disc box set by Nonesuch in late 2011). During that same period, Mehldau also released a solo piano recording entitled Elegiac Cycle, and a record called Places that included both solo piano and trio songs. Elegiac Cycle and Places might be called “concept” albums made up exclusively of original material with central themes that hover over the compositions. Other Mehldau recordings include Largo, a collaborative effort with the innovative musician and producer Jon Brion, and Anything Goes—a trio outing with bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jorge Rossy.

Autour de Mickaël Sourd à la guitare, Frédéric Léger à la contrebasse, Thomas Domene à la batterie et Guillaume Gardey de Soos à la trompette, le groupe s’inspire et prend ses influences dans le Jazz de la fin des années 50. En effet, le groupe définit sa musique dans la mouvance  Hard Bop et adapte les grands morceaux du Jazz de Kenny  Burrell à Lee Morgan en passant par Horace Silver ,Tommy Flanagan et Wes Montgomery. Leur prestation, très appréciée du public, réunie toutes les sensibilités musicales.

 Le Hard Bop qui est un savant mélange puisé dans les racines de l’Afrique, du Rythm’ and Blues, du Blues et du Gospel, ajoutant l’héritage du Bebop et du Swing fédère un large public depuis sa naissance.

Le quartet présente son nouvel album depuis le mois d'avril 2016.
