Raphe Malik: Last Set & Sympathy

Raphe Malik Quartet: Last Set: Live at the 1369 Jazz Club
by Trevor MacLaren
After leaving the Cecil Taylor Unit in 1979, Raphe Malik seemed to have disappeared until his first record as a leader appeared in 1989 ( 21st Century Texts ).

Raphe Malik: Speak Easy
by AAJ Staff
Raphe Malik, a master trumpeter who has established his versatility in a variety of improv contexts, turns inward on his new solo record, Speak Easy.
