Album Description

The quintet of Zurich tenor saxophonist Christoph Irniger presents its fifth album on Intakt Records on the occasion of the band’s 10th anniversary. Over the years, the band has created a distinct ensemble identity and has matured into one of the most exciting ensembles of young European jazz. As a well-rehearsed unit, the band on Ghost Cat fulfills all the expectations that are nowadays placed on modern and innovative jazz based on an internal band democracy. “There is both clarity and maturity in the improvisational process plus a greater awareness of what each other is doing – at both an interpersonal level and how everyone fits into the overall architecture of the performance. Each player clearly understands the material at hand and constructs their improvisation around the mood of the composition and the collective endeavour, rather than launching out on their own personal muse”, writes Stuart Nicholson in the liner notes.
