"Schweizer's made a veritable cottage industry out of duets with drummers under the auspices of Intakt. This hit with Baron registers right up there with the best of them, due in no small part to the breadth of experience and talent he brings to the kit".

"It can be easy to forget the breadth of piano styles that Schweizer employs. There are, in her solos, whole histories of jazz piano, as well as sizable hints of folk-inspired Classical piano suites. But, above all, it is the lightening fast wit and imagination that she evolves completely defined pattern of kaleidoscopic notes that defines her playing and makes her contribution to the art of jazz piano so unique. What makes this is recording a classic in the improvised playing is the wonderful rapport that she strikes with Baron, whose playing is every bit as inventive and invigorating as Schweizer's".

"Pianist Irène Schweizer has a lustrous and historically deep approach to the piano, informed by her early study of boogie-woogie and stride, and fleshed out through the exploration of other traditions: Romanticism, Impressionism, bebop and free improvisation ... Live!, her first album with the illustrious drummer Joey Baron, collects seven freely roaming tunes-and there's not a dull moment".
