“Jacques is a wildly gifted and accomplished saxophonist. Behind Jacques’ humble façade as an easy-going band leader of Jacqtet is a technical musical wizard who masters many styles: be-bop, fusion, blues, funk and hip-hop.

Jacques’ solos are a fluid explosion of creative and imaginative on-the-spot composition. His phrasing is hip and elegant, and he has a bright, enticing tone. He mixes new sound with “classic” jazz technique, and his set of original compositions will be a sneak peek of his long awaited first album.”
