Bon in Miskloc, Hungary in 1939, Yotchk’o started music at 5 years old then came to France at 17 to study at Paris Conservatoire (reeds, piano, composition avec Nadia Boulanger and followed Olivier Messiaen .

In 1959 at the Bohême, he played with Mal Waldron, first of a long list of partner amongst whom are Charlie Rouse, Phil Woods, Steve Lacy, Ornette Colman, Pharoah Sanders, Dave Liebman, Kenny Barron, Joachim Kühn, Daniel Humair, Henri Texier ... 1969 : with Ziegfried Kessler, Didier Levallet and the percussionist batteur Jean-My Truong, they initiate a group : Perception.

A painter and sculptor he is the father of jazz violinist Debora Seffer.

Colour splashes, melting magma, he plays like he paints and sculpts : he IS the melting pot of the dancing lyrisme of his compatriot Bartok, the Coltranian fire and the self proclamations of a Monk with a multi-instrumentisme virtuoso (from sopranino to basssaxophone) and with a endless passion. Yochk'o will paricipate in the Musical Summer of Frensham Heights
