Considéré comme un des clarinettistes les plus brillants de sa génération, il a participé à une cinquantaine d’album de tous genres au Canada et à l’étranger. En plus de ses présences sur les grandes scènes internationales, il a aussi enregistré 7 disques comme soliste chez ATMA, tous primés par la critique internationale.
