Ishmael
((Abdullah Ibrahim/Daniel Schnyder)



Daniel Schnyder is known as a composer/performer with a dynamic reputation in both jazz and classical fields. He recorded over ten CDs of his own music for Enja Records, Koch Jazz, CCnc, Universal, Arabesque and Red Records. As a performer Daniel toured and recorded with many well known classical musicians, world music artists and jazz artists.

"Old conflicts can eventually become obsolete, as Daniel Schnyder's music proves. The Swiss saxophonist-composer makes nonsense of the idea that classical music and jazz belong in separate bins, or that a great deal of diplomacy should be devoted to uniting them. Even when he does not place his own soprano saxophone at the center of an orchestral work, where it stutters, spins and wails, his writing is improvisatory and fiendishly precise. (...) Born in 1961, he comes from a generation of composers who throw all kinds of music under their beds as they grow up and emerge in adulthood with a natural concoction."
Justin Davidson, "Ending jazz, classical separation anxiety", Newsday, New York, April 10, 2004.
