Raymond Court was born on December 2, 1932 in Lausanne, Switzerland. He began playing trumpet in his late teens, but by age 20 was playing in Raymond Droz’s band from 1952 to 1956.

Later in the 1950s he played with Flavio Ambrosetti and Kurt Weil, and the early 1960s saw him with Daniel Humair, Martial Solal, and Rene Urtreger.

Starting in the mid-Sixties, he began concentrating on a new career in woodworking and cabinetry, but returned to music after about a decade. He recorded as a leader in the 1980s and with Weil again and Charly Antolini in the 1990s.
