Loys Choquart

Loys Choquart (October 11, 1920 in Geneva – December 10, 1989 in Puplinge) was a Swiss jazz reedist, bandleader, and broadcaster.

Choquart was leading his own ensemble by age 17, and at 19 had a position at Radio Geneva, remaining a broadcaster with the station for decades.

According to jazz historian Rainer E. Lotz, by the end of World War II "he was considered the best Swiss saxophone and clarinet soloist",[1] playing in both Dixieland and swing idioms.

He also led a larger ensemble with an orchestra, which included André Zumbach (fr).
