Intakt Records

Intakt Records An independent Jazz record label located in Zürich since 1986. Almost 400 recordings have been released to date.

«Small in budget, but immense in quality,» praises «All About Jazz New York» the CD-label Intakt Records. «The predominance and growth of independent labels continues. What would we do without the little guys?» – Intakt has made a special effort to document the development of many distinguished artists. The extraordinary critical acclaim has been surpassed only by the enthusiasm of the subscribers of the Intakt Records series.

In 1986, New York City was the absolute epicenter of a radical, genre-blurring explosion in experimental jazz. Irène Schweizer was there soaking up this raw energy and she brought it home to a captivated audience in Zurich. This recording captures a New York long since gone, allowing us to travel back to a city full of contrasts … make some time for this today.
