Michel Godard is one of the greatest tuba and serpent players in the world of jazz and improvised music. Michel Godard has made history in world jazz, setting new standards for the tuba and serpent since 1979. The fact that these two instruments sound great in jazz and improvised music is due in no small part to him. His clear, warm tone, musicality and astonishing technical skills leave the listener surprised at how easy a seemingly cumbersome tuba can sound and how much emotion it can convey.

He has notable collaborations with Michel Portal, Louis Sclavis, Henry Texier, Enrico Rava, Michael Riessler, Kenny Wheeler, Ray Anderson, Rabih Abou-Khalil, Sylvie Courvoisier, Klaus König, Simon Nabatov, Wolfgang Puschnig, Linda Sharrock, Pierre Favre, Misha Mengelberg, Linda Bsiri, Gianluigi Trovesi, Christof Lauer, Maria Pia De Vito, Pino Minafra, Luciano Biondini, Willem Breuker, Herbert Joos, Dave Bargeron and many others.
