DAVID EL-MALEK (ABO #326)

DAVID EL-MALEK
IMPULSIONS

Born in 1970, saxophonist David El-Malek isn't your everyday jazzman. For starters, he chose and began playing his instrument of choice, the tenor, quite late. The French/Israeli was 20 years old when he made his first steps into the musical world but, with passion and commitment, he managed to catch up with most of his peers and even surpass them.
Influenced by both his origins and John Coltrane, David has long been a sideman before releasing his debut album, "Organza", in 2001. From there, he established himself as one of the finest composers and intrumentalists in today's jazz scene not only for incorporating Jewish themes into his jazz but also for being able to occasionnaly stray from the usual idiom as in "Children of the Night" where he produces the sweetest reggae/jazz mix there ever was, in "Gentleman" with d'n'b influences or in his sweet Beatles cover, "And I Love Her". Of course, those are just sidesteps for someone so rooted in the tradition but also welcomed additions that enrich his music.
This baistophe displays songs from his four studio albums showing how varied and tasteful his music is.
