No one less than Michael Brecker said about the tenor saxophonist David Prez, "David's playing is fluent and swinging. His sound is... exquisite!" Prez not only completed his music studies at the Conservatoire de Lyon with the highest possible distinction in 2000, he also even received personal congratulations from all members of the examination committee. Then he moved to the USA to continue his studies under David Liebman and Michael Brecker.
