Journal Intime

Journal Intime is a contemporary jazz ensemble from France, known for their vibrant and adventurous approach to music. The band features trumpeter Sylvain Bardiau, trombonist Matthias Mahler, and bass saxophonist Frédéric Gastard, with drummer Jérémie Piazza joining on their 2023 album "Playtime." Their sound is marked by a rich palette of brass tones and improvisation, exploring jazz standards with a fresh, personal touch. They often collaborate with other talented musicians like guitarist Marc Ducret and organist Sébastien Palis, creating a lively and joyful musical experience inspired by their travels, such as a memorable journey through Scandinavia that influenced the album "Playtime".

Note: This description relates to the contemporary jazz band Journal Intime. There is also a 2017 album titled "Journal intime" by French-Malian singer Aya Nakamura, but that is a different artist. The recent releases "Playtime," "Azy Brd," "Paysage, avec bruits," and "Extension des feux" correspond to the jazz band, not Aya Nakamura.
