TONY MALABY is a wholly unique and singular voice in New York City’s improvised music community. DownBeat’s “80 Coolest Things in Jazz” article said that he is “a formidably accomplished soprano and tenor saxophonist with enviable tone and an endless font of compelling ideas [who] steers his music away from perfection” and “his considerable gifts as a melodist tend to sneak up on you.” JazzTimes called him “a hero of today’s improvised music scene.”
“A fearsome improviser…a hard-hitting presence on the NYC scene for more than a quarter of a century…an MVP whose unique sound elevates any bandstand he graces, as shown with the likes of Charlie Haden’s Liberation Music Orchestra, Paul Motian’s Electric Bebop Band and the Fred Hersch Quintet.” — NYC Jazz Record, July 2024
