About this product
The quintet of Zurich tenor saxophonist Christoph Irniger presents it's fifth album on Intakt Records on the occasion of the band's 10th anniversary. Over the years, the band has created a distinct ensemble identity and has matured into one of the most exciting ensembles of young European jazz. As a well-rehearsed unit, the band on Ghost Cat fulfills all the expectations that are nowadays placed on modern and innovative jazz based on an internal band democracy. InchThere is both clarity and maturity in the improvisational process plus a greater awareness of what each other is doing - at both an interpersonal level and how everyone fits into the overall architecture of the performance. Each player clearly understands the material at hand and constructs their improvisation around the mood of the composition and the collective endeavour, rather than launching out on their own personal museInch, writes Stuart Nicholson in the liner notes.

As a working band that has existed for over 10 years and toured extensively all over the world, Pilgrim has developed it's own magical sound. After the highly acclaimed studio album Ghost Cat, this formation driven by the joy of playing and inventiveness around Zurich tenor saxophonist Christoph Irniger presents the vibrant live album Human Intelligence. As a well-rehearsed unit, the band fulfills all expectations of modern and innovative jazz based on internal democracy. The always adventurous quintet brings together electric and acoustic sound worlds and fascinates in this live recording of the concert in the club Red Horn District in Bad Meinberg in Germany with great unity in focused interplay, a balance between the individual instrumental voices and a clarity of structure. InchIrniger, who evokes both tranquility and energy on his horn, is drawn to music with a probing, caressing quality, whereby sound, thought and feeling gradually edge to a peak of excitement rather than racing to itInch, writes Kevin Le Gendre in the liner notes.
On Terry Ohms' Terryfirma, you can hear the echoes of artists such as The Rolling Stones and Gram Parsons seeping into these tracks - but opening track, Mind Blow,Inch evokes the bluster of Hüsker Dü and reckless abandon of The Replacements. Other tracks like the danceable Bring All to FrontInch and We Love YouInch share space with the lounge guitar vibrations of Those Eyes,Inch building a wide-ranging selection of liquid melodies and subtle electronic flourishes. Peaks and ValleysInch explores a fuzzed-up landscape of crunchy rhythms while OpportunityInch brings to mind shuddering synth-pop of the '80s. The LP is pressed on yellow vinyl and contains a download card.
