A leading figure in the new European jazz scene, Léon Phal’s music lies at the crossroads of jazz, groove and electronic music.

With Bodies & Ideas, his fourth album, he builds on the momentum of Stress Killer, widely acclaimed upon its release and performed at more than a hundred concerts in France and internationally.

On stage, the band — Gauthier Toux (keyboards), Zacharie Ksyk (trumpet), Rémi Bouyssière (bass) and Arthur Alard (drums) — plays with tightness and genuine collective intensity. The sound is warm and organic, the groove constant, and the live show quickly draws you in. It’s an immersive, danceable live experience, praised for its impact by both audiences and industry professionals.

With Bodies & Ideas, the project also explores new sonic territories on record, notably through collaborations with Italian singer Fabiana Martone (Nu Genea) and rapper Jungle Jack.
