Couturier has performed in numerous groups and collaborations. In 1977, he founded the group ‘Impression’. In 1978 he met Jean-Paul Celea, with whom he became very close and has played a lot. After 1978 he has played and performed with Daniel Humair, François Jeanneau, Michel Portal et Didier Lockwood. Couturier was granted the Django Reinhardt-price by the ‘Académie du Jazz’ in 1980.
