Quentin Rollet
Quentin Rollet is a French saxophonist who plays alto and sopranino saxophone, mostly in free improvisation. He is the son of drummer Christian Rollet of the Workshop de Lyon. He has played on record or on stage with a wide circle of rock and experimental artists, including Nurse With Wound, The Red Krayola and David Grubbs. Rollet started on alto saxophone at 11 and added the sopranino at 37. He trained at the conservatory, then left that teaching behind for free improvisation.
