They are tone poems which demonstrate that accessible melodies and complex tonal worlds need not be mutually exclusive and can in fact make sense of each other. It's fine to sing along to this music, to dance even, while inadvertently realising how sophisticated and complex it actually is. This is achieved because the rhythm section push the sonorous potential of their instruments way further than most classical trios. Using tones of every shade and colour, the drums and bass succeed in expanding the three-piece ensemble into a veritable orchestra. The Christoph Irniger Trio was formed in New York and appears now with its first record on Intakt Records in summer 2013. All three musicians play in various other groups in Europe and the USA and in their short careers they have already had the opportunity to play and learn with jazz heavy-weights such as Joe Lovano, Ron Carter and Kurt Rosenwinkel.

No Reduce: Jaywalkin'

by Bruce Lindsay
October 31, 2012

When a trio of young Swiss jazz musicians visited New York in 2011, they weren't content just to follow the tourist trail or soak up the atmosphere in the Big Apple clubs.

Cowboys from Hell: Big Fish

October 25, 2012

Ascoltando questo Big Fish del trio Cowboys from Hell potrebbe venire in mente una parodia del titolo di uno dei celebri libri di Ian Fleming dedicati alla saga di James Bond: “Dalla Svizzera con Furore". Infatti i tre ragazzi che compongono il gruppo cercano di sbriciolare le regole convenzionali associate ad un trio con sax, basso ...

L'etichetta è la nWog Records, neonata label del trombonista tedesco ...

by Glenn Astarita
February 29, 2012

Whether by default or intent, Europe's Pilgrim communicates an artistic portraiture of progressive jazz. Framed on the sensibilities of travel and alluding to New Zealand's Mt. Tongariro as a core premise for the underlying themes, this quartet led by saxophonist Christoph Irniger pursues a signature sound and methodology. With ethereal overtones, budding passages, and succinct treks ...
