With Quartet XP – XP for Experience, of course – Magic Malik continues to venture into free territory, where jazz reinvents itself at every moment. A flautist with a unique perspective, curious about everything, he handles sounds like one plays with light: shifting shadows, bringing forth unexpected colours. His flute speaks, breathes, and plays, carried by that instantly recognisable energy that runs through all his music. Alongside him are three musicians as inventive as they are attentive: Maïlys Maronne on piano, also heard in the Kafrobeat project; Jean-Luc Lehr on bass, nourished by traditions from India, Africa, and Eastern Europe; and Vincent Sauve on drums, somewhere between intuitive jazz and aleatoric music. Together, they transform the stage into a space for collective play where shifting grooves, surprising harmonies, and fleeting melodies follow one another without anything ever being fixed. After an incandescent live album recorded at Baiser Salé, praised for its freshness and spontaneity, Quartet XP continues its journey: a vibrant, demanding, and generous music all at once, to be followed with eyes closed and heart wide open.
