Showing the Discogs bio

French jazz double bassist (born March 3, 1928 in Saint-Denis, Île-de-France (Paris), France, died July 3, 2005 in Île-de-France (Paris), France)
Michelot performed with Rex Stewart, Coleman Hawkins, Stéphane Grappelli, Don Byas, Lester Young, Stan Getz, and Zoot Sims, among others.
Other groups he performed with include HUM with Daniel Humair and René Urtreger, the trio "The Three Bosses" composed of Bud Powell, supported by Kenny Clarke, or in accompaniment of Claude Nougaro with Maurice Vander. To these formations we can add a great number of jazz musicians like Django Reinhardt, Sidney Bechet, Chet Baker, Miles Davis (with whom he creates the soundtrack of the film "Ascenseur pour l'échafaud") or Dizzy Gillespie and Thelonious Monk. In 1959, under the leadership of Jacques Loussier, he joined the Trio Play Bach with Christian Garros
