Alexej Malakhau - Leiblich

Saxophonist Alexei Malakhau, the 82nd protagonist of the Jazz thing Next Generation series, comes from Minsk in Belarus and composed all the pieces on the new album except for two.

The pieces on the CD have accompanied me for many years, Malakhau said. They have grown with me and form the emotional footprint of my physical experiences since my immigration to Germany.

When Alexei Malakhau interacts with pianists Rainer B�hm and Kristjan Randalu, guitarist Vitaliy Zolotov, bassist Joscha Oetz and drummer BodekJanke, his vibrant, emotional saxophone blends gentle nostalgia, a touch of romance, delicate melancholy and an uncontrollable desire to crossborders whenever he wants.
