About Me
Igor Lumpert liquifies light, spaces time and times space. His every note is a tropical bird en route to nirvana. The CD “Minerali” is worth much more than $10.
What makes Igor's music and playing so unique is its complexity. There is a quality to his playing and compositions that has absorbed the rich traditions of jazz music in this country but has also added something new and unidentifiable. His compositions flow with ease and vitality off odd time signatures. There is also darkness and a mystery to his sound that is all his own. No one else sounds like that-and that's one of the highest compliments you can give to a jazz musician. The complex emotions that feed the sounds of great artists in the jazz tradition have to do with the experience of enormous conflicts. You can't fake that quality, and Igor has it. Jane Ira Bloom, Saxophonist/composer/Grammy winner Born October 27, 1975, in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, Igor began his professional training at age 19 at the Bruckner Conservatory in Linz, Austria, where he studied with Doug Hammond.. After completing his studies with honors, Igor was invited by one of the world's finest bassists, Reggie Workman, to study at the New School University in New York City. He received a scholarship and moved to New York in fall 2000. Igor performed with such well-known musicians like Reggie Workman, John Abercrombie ,Chico Hamilton ,Ben Monder,Jonathan Blake,Rodney Green Boris Kozlov,Andy Mckee, and many others.
