Magic Malik - Jazz Association 5Tet

One of the greatest flautists of French jazz, who has travelled all over the world as a leader (Magic Malik Orchestra, in Duo with Minino Garay...) and as a guest (Julien Lourau, Steve Coleman, Asa, Hocus Pocus...), comes back to the side of the new talents of French jazz coming from various horizons.

Wayne Shorter, Sonny Rollins, Clifford Brown... Magic Malik tackles the modern jazz repertoire!  At the head of the Jazz Association, which includes the brilliant trumpeter Olivier Laisney (Slugged, Oxyd, Gil Evans Paris Workshop...) and the pianist Maxime Sanchez (recent finalist in the Monk Competition), the unclassifiable flautist plays the music that has nurtured him, without nostalgia or repetition, with his humour, his rigorous imagination and the memory of Eric Dolphy and Booker Little in the corner of his mind.
