Ibrahim Maalouf

Lebanese/French trumpeter performs jazz, classical, world, rock, electro and even rap. Maalouf is the go-to guy for global artists from Amadou and Mariam to Sting. Diagnostic is his third album, and it forms the final chapter in a triptych which began with his albums Diasporas and Diachronism. Diagnostic is a magnificent conclusion to a trilogy based on the search for an original aesthetic, one dominated by the four-valve trumpet in which he traces his path through many musical genres. An open, instinctive musician for whom technique necessarily serves feeling, Ibrahim Maalouf establishes himself here as a composer who, over time and through experience, has acquired mastery and assurance.
