Sirens Sweet & Slow is an album by American jazz trumpeter Raphe Malik, which was released in 1994 on Mapleshade's sublabel OutSounds. The album was recorded in three marathon sessions that resulted in enough music to fill at least four CDs. It was planned to put together two albums, but finally only the first one was issued emphasizing the ballad and lyrical side.[1]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz[2]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz says "Malik manages to play big and loud without losing focus: he rarely goes for the buzzy, spluttery effects that avant-garde brassmen ofteh rely on, and his note choices are boldly decisive."[2]
