Magic Malik Quartet XP

Groove, freedom, improvisation: an immersive experience not to be missed!

With Quartet XP – XP for Experience, of course – Magic Malik continues moving in free territory, where jazz reinvents itself at every moment. A flutist with a singular perspective, curious about everything, he wields sounds the way one plays with light: shifting shadows, bringing out unexpected colors. His flute speaks, breathes, and plays along, powered by that unmistakable energy running through all his music.

By his side are three musicians as inventive as they are attentive: Maïlys Maronn on piano, also heard in the Kafrobeat adventure, Jean-Luc Lehr on bass steeped in traditions from India, Africa, and Eastern Europe, and Vincent Sauve on drums, somewhere between intuitive jazz and aleatoric music. Together, they turn the stage into a collective playground where shifting grooves, surprising harmonies, and fleeting melodies succeed one another without anything ever being set in stone.

After a fiery live album recorded at Baiser Salé, praised for its freshness and spontaneity, Quartet XP continues its journey: music that is alive, demanding, and generous all at once, to be experienced with closed eyes and a wide-open heart.
