At the age of 13, André played with his father for radio recordings in the Raymond Legrand orchestra and had already recorded with Alix Combelle and Django Reinhardt in 1940 ( Tears / At the Jimmy's Bar , appeared on Swing ). In the mid-1940s he was a member of the Tony Proteau and Louie Williams orchestras, with whom he also made recordings.

He also had a duo with trombonist Benny Vasseur from 1957 to 1970 and played in Paul Kuhn's SFB Big Band in the 1970s until he returned to his homeland in 1984.
