Malcolm Braff: New Album Out Now
Malcolm Braff, the Swiss jazzman with the shock of hair who was raised in Brazil and Senegal, synthesizes some musical strange bedfellows to create his Africa in exile, working with the most revered (Blue Note) and the most underground of labels. His first album with ensemble, VOLTAGE, recorded at Studio du Flon and mixed and mastered by Benoît Corboz, suggests that this is a group on its way to
becoming one of the next decade’s most fascinating experiences in European jazz!
