“The singer and composer Mathilde Gardien – also a pianist – is among the new generation of vocal jazz, full of class, whom we follow closely. Her voice, free as living water, flowing like a stream, dialogues with Romain Salmon’s acoustic guitar, met at the Centre des Musiques Didier Lockwood. (…) Their first album is as refreshing as a spring ray of sunshine. A refined universe of great elegance, we adore it.»

“This album mixes styles with great inventiveness and a lot of audacity. It’s a particularly interesting record because the music offered can go in very complex directions or, conversely, prove more accessible. (…) An album that never gets old, listen after listen; in which, on the contrary, new horizons are always found each time. This combination has a lot of potential. That’s a certainty.”

“Masterfully composed and performed, imagine the album that Pierre Barouh and Michel Legrand could have arranged for Elis Regina, with a guitarist influenced by Baden Powell, Al Di Meola and Paco De Lucia, and the rhythm section of Return To Forever. As melodically appealing as this comparison may seem, the intense fluidity of this first attempt, conveyed with the purest and most modulated timbre of its vocalist, gives it an undeniable taste of being revisited. And as often as possible.”
