François Jeanneau

François Jeanneau (born June 15, 1935, Paris) is a French jazz saxophonist, flautist, and composer.

Jeanneau studied flute under René Leroy at the Paris Conservatory, but was an autodidact on saxophone.[1] He began playing professionally in 1960 at the Club Saint Germain, then worked in the big band of Jef Gilson and in a sextet with François Tusques. In the late 1960s and early 1970s he was a member of the band Triangle (fr). He won the Prix Django Reinhardt in 1980 and was the first leader of the Orchestre National de Jazz in 1986.
