Temime embodies a free, generous and profoundly human jazz.
In 2022, he left the hustle and bustle of Paris for the village of Marcenay, in Burgundy.
Surprisingly, this new life is more than active. Jazz workshops follow one another at home, and Olivier transmits his sacred fire in the jazz schools of the region, including those of Châtillon and Dijon.
Jazz is right here, close to home.
Surprises and encounters follow one another and run rampant in this paradisiacal environment that has become her home port.
As a result, two new albums filled with space and energy.
The first, expected on October 10, 2025, will be in a trio with his longtime companions: Emmanuel Bex on the Hammond organ and Simon Goubert on drums.
The second, scheduled for the end of January 2026, will be a quartet with the young guard: Étienne Deconfin on piano, Sylvain Romano on double bass, Antoine Paganotti on drums and the voice of Rahsaan Roland Kirk as a protective spirit.

"The fusion between these three, serving both jazz and rhythm and blues, is clearly a matter of alchemical secrecy."

"A rich and powerful jazz, sometimes sunny, always generous. A delight."
