On Mavi we hear music that seems to emanate from the spheres while remaining wholly worldly, emotional and sensual. The music of Biondini, Godard and Niggli thrives on it's poetry, the beauty of it's sounds, the depth of it's ideas, and on it's tension.

Pierre Favre's 1970's solo works are important mile-�stones in the history of European jazz. Any discography of innovative recordings should include them, and their reissue is long overdue. Their significance is not simply as reference material of historical interest, but with their effervescent creativity, they remain impressive and relevant listening even today.

DUO PALINDROME 2002 2

Piano-Drums Duos are the preferred playing arrangement of pianist Ir�ne Schweizer. Her mastery of duets with important drummers of contemporary jazz are documented on numerous Intakt CDs. Han Bennink, Pierre Favre, Louis Moholo, Gu�nter Baby Sommer, Andrew Cyrille and Joey Baron among them. The Chicago drummer Hamid Drake, born in 1955, and Ir�ne Schweizer, born in 1941, have performed together on numerous occasions both in Europe and Chicago. Together they have appeared on the Intakt CD "Ir�ne Schweizer-Fred Anderson-Hamid Drake". At the 40th anniversary festival "Kontrontationen in Nickelsdorf" (Austria), Schweizer and Drake were the highlight of the event. A celebration of the moment and a declaration of love to South African songs along with their thrilling energy and rhythmic lightness produced a firework of improvisation. A parade of successful interplay. The CD Celebration is released on the occasion of Ir�ne Schweizer's 80th birthday (2. Juni), accompanied by a catalogue of the pianist's works on Intakt Records.
