  The French bassist and composer Henri Texier is one of Europe's leading jazz musicians. His career had a dazzling start in the 1960's when he was not yet twenty alongside American bebop giants such as Bud Powell Donald Byrd Dexter Gordon and Kenny Clarke. During the two following decades he performed with series of innovative groups with Fran''ois Jeanneau Daniel Humair Michel Portal Aldo Romano Louis Sclavis Didier Lockwood and others. And during the 1990's Texier has used his warm sound and his talent as a composer to encourage young improvisers like Bojan Z Julien Lourau and Sebatien Texier.
