Vijay Iyer Trio

Vijay Iyer

Anyone who has looked at American music for the past decade cannot ignore Vijay Iyer. He often finished at the top of the prestigious Downbeat Critics Poll in the Jazz Artist of the Year category. But the description of 'jazz' is too limited. His musical language is equally grounded in South Asian and West African traditions. He has composed for many contemporary classical soloists and ensembles, such as Bang on a Can All-Stars, Silk Road Ensemble and The Los Angeles Philharmonic. ���Extraordinary...Reaffirming His Status As One Of The Most Creative Figures In Improvised Music” (Boston Globe)
