Played bass with many well known jazz musicians, Belgian and international : René Thomas, Chet Baker, Jacques Pelzer, Robert Jeanne (he was a regular member of his bands with Félix Simtaine, Léo Fléchet), Lou McConnell, Michel Herr, John Thomas, etc...
Although he never chose to become a professional musician (his main job is to be a gynecologist !), he had all the qualities of a pro and was considered as such by his peers. He played at the Comblain-la-Tour festival several times, a.o. with his own sextet.
He wrote several jazz themes, a.o. Black Eyes, played and recorded a.o. by Chet Baker. He also has an interest in Brazilian music.
His presence became rare on the jazz scene after the 80ies, but it is worth mentioning that in 1988 he recorded a session as a flugelhorn player with Léo Fléchet (p), Jean-Louis Baudoin (b) and Frédéric Jacquemin (drs).
