About
Bassist & composer Iris Ornig is one of the most original female voices on today's New York jazz scene. Since her arrival in New York City in 2003 from Germany, she has played with an impressive roster of some of the most influential contemporary jazz musicians in New York including Gretchen Parlato, Ambrose Akinmusire, Joel Frahm, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Michael Rodriguez, Rebecca Martin, Allison Miller, Sachal Vasandani, Helen Sung, Marcus Gilmore, and Dan Tepfer, among others. Iris’s album, No Restrictions, won recognition from Downbeat Magazine on its Best Albums of 2013 list.
Iris Ornig combines European tradition with expanded chord structures of modern jazz, Straight –ahead jazz, blues inflections, improvised "riffs", swing rhythms, and call and response.
