Career

1960s

As of early 1967, he was the international manager for the French company

8-tracks.[2][3] The following year he had said in an article that the company had switched to 8-tracks and they were having trouble satisfying the demand for them.[4]
Around 1969/1970, Jaubert produced a number of recordings for John Lee Hooker which included "Baby Don't Do Me Wrong", "Call It The Night" and "Going Home".[5]

1970s

He was still heading the international department for Musicdisc in 1971.[6]

During the 1970s, he produced the album Candy Girl for Mal Waldron. The album never saw a proper release and only about 50 copies were pressed. Decades later in 2016, a copy of the LP would sell for US$1215.[7][8] It was re-released as a limited edition of 500 on Libreville Records in 2016.[9]

Two acts he discovered in the 1970s were the Lafayette Afro Rock Band and Chantal Curtis.[10][11][12] He ended up using the Lafayette Afro Rock Band as his house session band at his Parisound studio. He spotted them performing at Barbès, a Paris district which had many North African immigrants.[13][14] He discovered Chantal Curtis one day in the 1970s, overhearing her talking to a friend on a Paris street. Liking the sound of her voice, he asked her if she could sing and then offered her work.[15][16] Jaubert used Lafayette Afro Rock Band on Curtis's Get Another Love album which produced a hit of the same name.[17][18]

1980s

He produced the Jamais Avant Le Mariage!! soundtrack album for Vladimir Cosma which was released in 1982.[19] He produced a single, " Autant D'amoureux Que D'étoiles" for Annick Thoumazeau which was released on the Carrere label in 1984.[20]
