About
Magic Malik and his Quartet XP perform at Le Baiser Salé on December 4, 2026, with two distinct sets scheduled for 19:00 and 21:00. The quartet, featuring flutist Magic Malik, pianist Maïlys Maronn, bassist Jean-Luc Lehr, and drummer Vincent Sauve, explores the boundaries of jazz through a collective and intuitive approach to sound. Known for their spontaneous energy and diverse musical influences, the group promises an evening of evolving grooves and unexpected harmonies. Tickets are available at various price points depending on whether you book online or arrive at the venue in the 1st arrondissement.
With the Quartet XP – XP for Experience, of course – Magic Malik continues to advance on free ground, where jazz reinvents itself at every moment. A flutist with a singular perspective, curious about everything, he handles sounds like playing with light: by shifting shadows, making unexpected colors appear. His flute speaks, breathes, and plays, carried by that recognizable energy that runs through all his music.
Alongside him are three musicians who are as inventive as they are attentive: Maïlys Maronn on piano, whom we have also heard in the Kafrobeat adventure; Jean-Luc Lehr on bass, nourished by traditions from India, Africa, and Eastern Europe; and Vincent Sauve on drums, somewhere between intuitive jazz and aleatoric music. Together, they turn the stage into a space for collective play where changing grooves, surprising harmonies, and fleeting melodies follow one another, with nothing ever set in stone.
After an incandescent live album recorded at Le Baiser Salé, praised for its freshness and spontaneity, the Quartet XP continues its journey: live, demanding, and generous music all at once, to be followed with eyes closed and heart wide open.
