He frequently collaborates in diverse ensembles, demonstrating versatility across various jazz subgenres.

The Philharmonie de Paris, inaugurated in January 2015, is a major concert hall complex located in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. Designed by Jean Nouvel, the complex comprises a Grande Salle featuring adjustable acoustics to suit different musical genres – notably symphonic repertoire, but also capable of accommodating amplified performances. It also includes smaller concert spaces: the Salle de Découverte, dedicated to educational programs and emerging artists; and the Studio, intended for experimental and contemporary music.

The building’s design incorporates significant architectural features including a metallic cloud-like structure above the Grande Salle designed to modify sound reflection. The Philharmonie de Paris serves as a central hub for musical activity in France, hosting a wide range of orchestras, soloists, and ensembles both domestic and international. It aims to be accessible to diverse audiences through its programming and outreach initiatives.
