Christoph Irniger
Born:
Christoph Irniger, born 1979, is a Swiss saxophonist, composer and bandleader. According to the Sunday edition of the Neue Zürcher Zeitung he is “undoubtedly one of the greatest talents of his generation.” In recent years, Irniger has made a name for himself in a range of line-ups, playing jazz, rock and related musical styles. As a musician from a generation which likes to work on multiple projects in eclectic styles, he leads a range of outfits, all distinct and surprising musically. The Swiss magazine Jazz ’N‘ More writes: “He comes up with something new each time by leaving the beaten tracks of sound. He doesn’t just look briefly left and right; he fights his way into the thicket.” An instrumentalist with a firm education, and a composer with an artistic vision, he consistently generates new ideas, realised thanks to a passion for music. German magazine Jazzthetik says: “People who know about jazz will confirm that he is one of the most promising musicians in contemporary Swiss jazz.”

by Glenn Astarita

One of many outwardly enticing attributes is how sublime choruses often feel like they are on the verge of exploding into impacting ...

Christoph Irniger - Pilgrim: Italian Circus Story
by Glenn Astarita
Young Swiss saxophonist, composer Christoph Irniger is one to watch. His blossoming stature on the European jazz scene is partly due to his invigorating and meticulous compositional approach.

Christof Irniger: Gowanus Canal
by Luca Casarotti
Per essere una formazione senza strumenti armonici, il trio del sassofonista svizzero Christoph Irniger sembra dare un'importanza capitale all'armonia nella sua accezione più stretta, tonale. Questo non significa che il gruppo pensi, componga e suoni in modo troppo tradizionale. A fugare il sospetto bastano i primi secondi della prima traccia, che dà il titolo a questo ...
