Yacine Malek‘s new album is a quest, in which the virtuoso pianist grabs us and draws us in. A grab that operates from his introduction on the solo piano in Like Brazil, the theme that opens the album in tribute to Michel Petrucciani. Yacine takes us with him on the large stool of his piano, as close as possible to his accomplices.
It is the quest for a melodic Grail dedicated to the public. A quest to share with the greatest number, without blush in its raw state, for a music that the artist wants to be totally communicative. Yacine Malek wants to make music a moment of immediate and spontaneous sharing “I give myself constantly and fully every time I go on stage… to touch people deep inside
themselves and move them”.
If Yacine Malek is also in demand by the greats of showbiz, it is for his qualities as a composer, arranger and musical director, beyond what he reveals in Jazz. References that have also taught him a lot, in music and in the relationship with the public. Yacine thus gives himself with no restraint to the public alongside Liane Foly since 2022 in the show “I Love Jazz” by the Singer, of whom he is the pianist, arranger, and musical director.
Yacine Malek launched himself into “Yacine Malek Double Trio – Live In Paris” without really knowing it. Spontaneously, “par la force des choses” during the lockdown at the beginning of 2021. Exasperated like so many other musicians, Yacine went on stage with Linley Marthe and Karim Ziad for a Live streaming, at the Regard du Cygne after crossing a deserted Paris, duly equipped with his mandatory pass. Objective: to rediscover the sensations, the audience, even if it means going through digital. To turn back on the colors of music, with a sort of underground concert! The tracks of the concert were kept, the road to the album is opened!
With such a starting point, the album had to be a live quest, a perfect expression of Yacine’s music that he wants for and with the public, which gives it all its dimension, all its breadth.
