PULSE
First record made from my compositions and my universe.
This album explores different facets of my imagination with sometimes a lyrical saxophone, sometimes rhythmic or just treated as a percussion instrument. The colours of these pieces are marked with musical and cultural references. As a performer, these compositions also reflect a musical and technical outcome that highlights the modernity of the saxophone with different styles and influences.
From sonata to solo, including a mixed quarter with drums, double bass, piano and saxophone, this program will help you rediscover the melodic and rhythmic capacities of Adolphe SAX’s creation.

FIREWORKS Jazz 4te
Under the impulse of Vincent David, this Quartet gather together musicians sharing an impetus and a common energy. Baptiste Herbin, Stéphane Guillaume, Vincent David and Jean-Charles Richard are the members since 2012. This saxophone quartet (non-exclusive) offers a trip to the many styles and colors with original compositions. The writing mixes closely modern, classical and jazz sounds. This first disc is an opportunity to discover the different facets of this resolutely modern instrument.
FLOWS
This disc takes you on a journey with the modern saxophone. From solo to soloist-with-ensemble, via chamber music duets and trios, the saxophone investigates the composers’ rapport with Jazz. King of instruments in this style, it uncovers within these pieces an idiomatic music, formed as much by the direct influence of Jazz as by the struggle to avoid it. These pieces, brought together here for the first time, are an essential guide to current saxophone composition.
