Irène Schweizer & Louis Moholo is a live album by pianist Irène Schweizer and drummer Louis Moholo. It was recorded on November 8, 1986, at the International Jazz Festival in Zürich, Switzerland, and was released in 1987 by Intakt Records.
In an interview, Schweizer stated that the album, which features two compositions by South African saxophonist Dudu Pukwana, as well as a tribute to bassist Johnny Dyani, "is an homage to the South African musicians exiled in Europe whom I got to know at the Africana and later ran into on a regular basis when I lived for a few years in London." She praised Moholo's "rhythmicality," and commented: "This amazing drive has something trance-like about it. I compare Louis with Elvin Jones, when Jones was playing with John Coltrane."
