They recorded the first 78 rpm by Geo Daly: "Nine O'Clock Jump" and "Moonglow" first with the Swing record label, then at Jazztime. He became an orchestra conductor in 1957 before signing hundreds of arrangements for Eddy Mitchell, Michel Fugain or Michel Polnareff. He made a first foray into film music in 1966 when he co-composed the music of Roger Vadim's film "La curée" with Jean-Pierre Bourtayre. He then went on to work on "Trop c'est trop!" (Didier Kaminka, 1975), with Christian Chevallier and "C'est encore loin l'Amérique?" (Roger Coggio, 1980) with Mort Shuman, For "Les fourberies de Scapin" (1981) by Roger Coggio, he composed the music on his own.
