INTAKT RECORDS 2018

2018

Welcome to the Intakt Catalogue 2018.

New names shape the catalogue this season. Michael Formanek, Ches Smith, Kukuruz Quartet, Dave Gisler Trio, District Five, Ken Vandermark, Nate Wooley, Don Byron, Kaja Draksler, Robyn Schulkowsky and Till Brönner as a guest of Günter Baby Sommer.

We also present great works by musicians with whom we have been working for many years. Included is the solo work of Lucas Niggli on his 50th birthday, two CD’s from Sylvie Courvoisier Trio, a live recording of the Globe Unity Orches-tra and the extraordinary orchestral work of Ingrid Laubrock.

Enlarging the radius, breaking boundaries and expanding freedom are charac-teristics of creative music. But also the deepening, the refinement and the continuity of the aesthetic approach as seen on each of our 22 releases for 2018.

We count on your curiosity for contemporary music in the broad spectrum of jazz and value your continued contribution to creativity. Become a con-tributing Intakt member by joining our subscription service on our website www.intaktrec.ch. And stay up-to-date by signing up for our newsletter.

All the best from Intakt Records, Anja Illmaier, Florian Keller, Patrik Landolt
