Jimi Hendrix wasn’t just the all-time greatest guitar wrangler, but also a totally unprejudiced and passionate musical maverick, who always looked for the unmapped territory, while simultaneously building a cosmic bridge between endless space and timeless blues. That’s why Jimi would have dug Journal Intime, because the French horn trio understands all that, loves Hendrix and particularly gives his music a new life without imitating the original. Check out the red hot Lips On Fire album (2010) to prepare for the new Hendrix experience.
Journal Intime is a unique union of three top-notch French avant-jazz adventurers. They have created the dancing brass band Les Faux Frères. Bass saxist Frederic Gastard and trombonist Matthias Mahler both play in Marc Ducret Real Thing #1 (quintet) and Marc Ducret Tower-Bridge (12 musicians). Trumpet player Sylvain Bardiau worked with the Orchestre National de Jazz. All of them have played with La Campagnie des Musiques à Ouïr, and have worked with many chanson singers. On top of jazz, they all have played funk, reggae, salsa and afro. So, yes, they are experienced.

Founded in 2006, trio Journal Intime is playing a rare complicity in ensemble music and improvisation, moving freely in between wind music without any etiquette, with remarkable compositions and adventurous arrangements. A unique experience of a trio with a nearly inexhaustible range of sound. They accompanied among others Jacques Higelin, André Minvielle, Tony Hymas, La Campagnie des musiques à Ouïr and Eric Lareine. They are also closely connected in collaboration with Rodolphe Burger, Marc Ducret and Vincent Peirani. Journal Intime ploughs through the French and European scene blowing and sweating a sophisticated and wild music that dances, sings, whispers and cries, and all with a rousing and complice request. An ode to a devilish electrifying acoustic music.
