LISTEN ON


Malija, the sophisticated genre-bending all-star trio that received phenomenal acclaim for their debut album 'The Day I Had Everything' [2015], releases Instinct today, an album that showcases the sheer brilliance, interplay and depth of musicianship of three of the most celebrated and adhered Jazz musicians in Europe - Mark Lockheart, Jasper Høiby and Liam Noble.

"A great trio...loved them for a while...on the ever-wonderful Edition Records." Jamie Cullum, BBC Radio 2 (UK)

"Messrs Lockheart, Høiby and Noble have again conjured-up an album of fascinating and often mesmeric tunes, all of which are seamlessly interwoven originals." All ABout Jazz (UK)

"Dominated by Lockheart and his instruments, Instinct, a collective album, is a small pearl that is highly recommended." Focus/ Le Vif (Belgium)

"Danish bass bassist Jasper Hoiby (Phronesis), British saxophonist Mark Lockheart and pianist Liam Noble are and remain top musicians in the European jazz scene. The evidence is optimal with Instinct , the second album of their trio Malija." Written in Music (The Netherlands)

"Høiby holds a rhythmic tempo, embraced by Lockheart's shining saxophone and Noble's piano. The trio shares the composer's duties between them. They each believe in the trio and have made music that is filled with temperate layers." Jazznyt (DENMARK)
