For over twenty years, he has been one of Switzerland's busiest and most versatile voices on the trombone. Whether he is performing in the brass-percussion fire of Le Rex, the avant-garde precision of the Vertigo Trombone Quartet, or the celebrated South African-Swiss collective Skyjack, his music has always been about the play with the unexpected.
