ABOUT
Trombonist per excellence, Malcolm Jiyane is Critically acclaimed for his passionate stage charisma and unique stylistic approach to interpreting South African Jazz through his compositions. This multi-instrumentalist (Trombonist, Pianist, Vocalist) is a musician that stands tall amongst his peers within the South African Jazz Scene, as he has successfully taken is works through and beyond the shores of South Africa.
"Jiyane is nothing if not the product of astute mentorship from elders and peers alike. Given the late Mekoa's stature in South African jazz, trombonist Jonas Gwangwa (also late) would have been among regular visitors to the academy, imprinting on the young Jiyane not only the breadth of South African music traditions but also the science of how to lead musical ensembles without stifling individual contribution" (Malcolm Jiyane | Music In Africa)
