Life and career

Perrenoud, who is Swiss, was born in Berlin in 1981. [1] His first jazz recording was Stream Out in 2006. [2] The trio of Perrenoud, Marco Müller (bass) and Cyril Regamey (drums) released Vestry Lamento in 2014 after being together for seven years.

The trio's sound was described by a reviewer for The Irish Times as "big-hearted, harmonically open music laid down over grooves from jazz and funk". [3]
