He is still the organist of Saessolsheim, where he succeeded, with the help of the Saessolsheim Organ Friends’ Association, in enriching the church with a new Aubertin organ, which energised the cultural life of the village. --- 2) Francis Jacob: World Jazz guitarist and composer from Brooklyn,New York, see his Bandca
