After leading the Lorraine Regional Jazz Orchestra from 2003 to 2005, Florent Briqué devoted himself to his various ensembles, notably the Sloth Trio and the group The Big Friche, with which he developed the use of Sound Painting. Florent holds a state-certified teaching degree in jazz and improvised music.
