From Wikipedia:
Géraldine Laurent (born 18 January 1975) is a French jazz alto saxophonist.
Laurent studied classical piano at the Niort Conservatoire before changing to alto saxophone at the age of 12. She has been a member of the Christophe Joneau Quartet. In parallel with her main trio with Yoni Zelnik and Laurent Bataille, she also had a trio with Hélène Labarrière and Éric Groleau, concentrating more on free improvisation. She prefers to play jazz standards to original compositions, and cites John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Sonny Rollins and Eric Dolphy among her influences.
Now she's not really a huge name but I'm willing to bet she will be. This is actually my introduction to the playing of Géraldine Laurent. Actually I probably haven't heard of the rest of her Quartet. I will say I love the way they play together. There is something interesting about the arraignments as well. Maybe phrasing or it's possible that the that the voices of the instruments could be swapped. Like the piano playing the horn's part etc...I'm not sure but I've been addicted to this show, I think you will be too...
