Henri Texier is a Parisian self taught double bassist who was a prominent player throughout the 60’s playing with many of the big US names including Donald Bryd and Bud Powell that were visiting Paris Jazz clubs during this period.

Texier went on to produce three incredible solo albums in the late 70’s including ‘Amir’ (75) ‘Varech’ (77) and ‘A Cordes Et a Cris’ (79). All of these albums were released on French label ‘Bleu’ and feature Texier playing flute and Cello both of which he taught himself in the early 70’s.
