Switzerland’s ‘Malcolm Braff Trio’ at Blue Frog
Switzerland’s Malcolm Braff Trio
EFT Report, Mumbai: The pianist Malcolm Braff presents his heavy-grooving modern soul-jazz piano trio with African shadings based on research he calls "Non-Euclidean Rhythms," which consist of rhythms that cannot be divided by integers. For his latest album "Inside" (ENJA), Malcolm has received wide acclaim from music critics in Europe and abroad; Braff is joined by the amazing bassist Reggie Washington (Steve Coleman, Chico Hamilton, Roy Hargrove`s RH Factor, Branford Marsalis, D`Angelo...) and young drum phenomenom Lukas Koenig from Austria.

Lots of musicians master their technical genre and their instrument to perfection, but there are only few who go beyond that with their unique individuality. Thanks to pure energy, sheer personality and authority regarding spiritually inspired rhythms, Malcolm Braff is one of them. He has created a new category of pianist. With him, the piano keyboard sounds as if it is an extension of himself.

He has created his own, huge world on this instrument! His improvisations are sensual power plays and delicate contemplative masterpieces in one. Whether gospel-like or Coltrane-inspired, he sounds the depths and shallows of quasi magical-religious knowledge of rhythms and harmony like a shaman.
