about

Intakt CD 323

Christoph Irniger, a prodigious stylist with a warm sound,
presents the third album with his band Pilgrim on Intakt Records.
With "Crosswinds" the saxophonist who relishes adventure
and surprise delivers a cultivated studio album. Multi-layered,
subtle and melodically entangled, the eight pieces radiate a
wondrous, atmospheric tranquility. A highly nuanced music with
a magical sound.
Peter Margasak writes in the liner notes: „Crosswinds – this
new, gorgeously considered, but luxuriantly open new recording
by tenor saxophonist Christoph Irniger’s Pilgrim – is
palpably more relaxed on the surface than the quintet’s previous
albums, yet beneath that veneer of calm is intensely
focused and rigorous interplay as well as a level of risk-taking.
Irniger and his bandmates have developed a richly contemporary
sound that melds ideas from some of the most harmonically
advanced thinkers in the US with a distinctly European flavor
heard most explicitly“.
