Between 2017 and 2019 Malcolm played around 100 shows in the UK, US, Australia and New Zealand with The Music of Cream, a tribute to his father’s band, featuring special guests Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath) and Robben Ford (Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell).
In 2018 and 2019 Malcolm was co-executive producer, arranger and performer for Cream Acoustic, a project headed by Cream lyricist Pete Brown and recorded at Abbey Road Studios, which featured performances by Ginger Baker, Joe Bonamassa, Bobby Rush, Bernie Marsden (Whitesnake), Pee-Wee Ellis (James Brown) and many more. The album along with a DVD documenting the sessions will be released by Quarto Valley Records in 2020.
He's also working on a jazz record with legendary drummer Chester Thompson (Genesis, Phil Collins, Frank Zappa, Weather Report) and bassist Jeff Berlin, which will include some very special guests. The record will be released to coincide with a tour later this year.
Malcolm continues to compose orchestral music and his first opera ‘King You’s Folly’ is to premiere at Sadler’s Well’s in 2022.
Work begins later this year on his next album of songs.
His shows are at once epic and intimate, with a unique approach to song structure and form. His guitar playing is explorative, expressive and passionate. He is fast emerging as a truly original artist on the international scene.
