Philippe Chrétien: In 1979, Philippe found his preferred means of expression in the tenor saxophone. He gained international concert experience with well-known musicians and DJs of all kinds. Typical of Philippe Chrétien is his unmistakable tone and his musical empathy. Jack Kreisberg (Blue Note, New York) summed it up: "He's got a killer sound!"
