INTIMA - Giuditta Franco, Francesco Pollon, Stefano Zambon

On INTIMA, Giuditta Franco's voice meets the grand piano and Fender Rhodes of Francesco Pollon and the double bass of Stefano Zambon. Six pieces explore the interplay of singing, harmony and pulse. Alongside standards such as Blame It on My Youth and You Go to My Head are compositions by the musicians, including Mediterranea, Come un gomitolo and Undecisive. Recorded during a single studio day in July 2025, the album brings these different sources together in an intimate conversation between jazz and song.
