Ibrahim Maalouf

Main image for event titled Ibrahim Maalouf


The buzz surrounding Ibrahim Maalouf’s set at last year’s London Jazz Festival marked the emergence of ‘a startling new voice in contemporary jazz’ (The Guardian). A year later, the trumpeter/composer returns to the inspiration of the super-cool jazz of the 50s first explored in his 2012 album Wind, with the tonalities of Middle Eastern music adding a sublime and trance-like atmosphere.
