Est-il possible de mélanger John Coltrane, Stevie Wonder, Oxmo Puccino et Duke Ellington ? Avec Inner Songs, Olivier Temime, familier du Saint-Denis Jazz le prouve et se fait l’héritier d’un Jazz cosmopolite, nourri des soubresauts de son époque, par essence métissé et puissant.Débarquant à Paris en 1995 dans les clubs de jazz de la rue des Lombards avec les Volunteered Slaves (son groupe funk aux accents afrobeat et hip hop), Olivier Temime s’est vite fait remarquer, y compris auprès des musiciens américains de passage à Paris.Qu’il s’agisse d’arranger et d’improviser sur un discours de Rahsaan Roland Kirk, d’harmoniser le chant d’un merle ou de partir d’un air de berceuse vers l’expressivité solennelle d’un solo de bugle, Temime compose une musique très mélodique, émotive et basée aussi sur l’interaction avec les membres de cette nouvelle formation, mélange de jeunes pousses et de grands crus, parmi lesquels Emmanuel Bex, compère de longue date.
