Career

From the beginning of the 2000s, RONGETZ became involved in a variety of jazz crossover projects. His first successful band was Metropolitan Jazz Affair, which released two albums and several 12- and 7-inch vinyls. The band is featured in over 40 compilation albums.

In 2007, Rongetz started a new project called The Rongetz Foundation. The initial idea was to record live, original compositions, while bringing together musicians from disparate horizons and generations. With the help of the label Heavenly Sweetness (Franck Descollonges, Vincent Quittard, Antoine RAJON). The Rongetz Foundation released four albums. That project led Rongetz to record with members of bands such as The Jazz Messengers, Eddie Palmieri Orchestra, Charles Mingus Big Band, The RH Factor, Frank Zappa's group, Steve Turre, Gary Bartz and Gregory Porter.
