Dominique Gaumont

Dominique Gaumont (8 January 1953 – 10 November 1983) was a French jazz guitarist who played alongside notable musicians such as Miles Davis, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, and Michel Portal.

After his musical studies, he became attracted to the electric guitar, in particular Jimi Hendrix, and began playing in public in 1970.

In 1974, he was invited by the trumpeter Miles Davis to join his band and tour the United States.

In New York, he lived with his friend and fellow musician Philippe Gaillot, with whom he shared many musical experiences.

He returned to Paris in 1975 where he formed his own band, Le Dominique Gaumont Energy, with Lucien Sombe (bass) and Joe Harmer (drums).
