Auf ihrem Zweitling führt die Band der Schweizer Saxofonistin ihre Klasse fort, führt ihre Themen eng, macht sie stark und erfindet sie gleichsam neu.

Swiss saxophonist Co Streiff and her sextet offer a virtual sightseeing tour of progressive jazz dipped in a variety of world-music including Middle Eastern modal structures.

Rarely does an “avant-garde” jazz player address the challenges of West and South African structures with such a clear emphasis on groove.

This is the third disc on Intakt featuring Swiss reeds great, bandleader and master-composer, Ms. Co Streiff and again she has put together an incredible and unique modern jazz sextet with some strong African influences.

Streiff on a duet recording she did with pianist Irene Schweizer. It was a fine recording where the two were well-matched and Streiff composed most of the material.

On ne pourra reprocher à Co Streiff son manque d'ouverture, son désir d'arpenter large (blues, jazz, klezmer, tendances africaines, improvisation).
