Irène Schweizer

Irène Schweizer Trio is a Swiss jazz trio led by pianist Irène Schweizer that emerged from the European free jazz and improvised music scene in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Its music blends free improvisation with elements of traditional jazz and European avant-garde, favouring collective interplay, extended techniques and dynamic contrasts, and the trio has been associated with the development of European improvised music and related cultural networks.
