Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on July 26, 1952)

Happy Birthday, Christian! Or should we say Jean Matitia? Whether you're blending North African rhythms with Japanese melodies or jazzing things up under your playful pseudonym, you've always kept us guessing—and grooving. Your compositions have not only expanded the saxophone's horizons but also our musical imaginations.

Here's to celebrating another year of innovative harmonies and boundary-breaking beats. May your birthday be as vibrant and eclectic as your music—filled with laughter, inspiration, and perhaps a spontaneous jam session that fuses continents together in perfect harmony!

Keep composing magic; after all these years, you still hit every note perfectly. Cheers!
