Malcolm Jiyane TREE-O

ABOUT

A generous sideman and bandleader, multi-instrumentalist Malcolm Jiyane stands at the vanguard of his prodigious generation of jazz musicians. Operating from the centre and the fringes of the South African jazz scene, the trombonist (and pianist) is an enigmatic yet charismatic galvaniser of his contemporaries, able to put them through their paces in his own compositions, while giving them enough room to interpret them anew.

With this debut UMDALI - released on Mushroom Hour Half Hour - Malcolm Jiyane Tree-O has created a work that is not only keenly aware of what came before it, but blazing a trail to the future. Recently announced for Northsea Jazz Festival don’t miss him on Leano Stage.
