Iris Ornig bassist/composer voted as "One of 10 Future Female Jazz Stars..." -- jazz.com. performs with her new project The IO-5 at 55 Bar. 

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, she had played with an amazing roster of the most influential contemporary jazz musicians in NYC including Gretchen Parlato, Ambrose Akinmusire, Joel Frahm, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Mike Rodriguez, Rebecca Martin, Allison Miller, Sachal Vasandani, Helen Sung, Marcus Gimore, Dan Tepfer and many others.



Ornig's new project THE IO-5 highlights all the members - Jeremy Powellt on sax, Josh Deutsch on trumpet, Daisuke Abe on guitar and Ronen Itzik on drums- in a mixed program of straight ahead and contemporary jazz originals and well-chosen pop covers. Ornig's compositions are strikingly fresh, original and of the moment.



Her latest CD, "No Restrictions", features Kurt Rosenwinkel, Mike Rodriguez, Helen Sung and Marcus Gilmore. The recording has earned extremely positive reviews from Jazziz, All About Jazz, and The New York City Jazz Record, just to name a few. ‘No Restrictions" was recognized in Downbeat magazine as one of the best album of 2013.
