About

Vijay Iyer Quartet

Label: Savoy Jazz
Rated one of "today's most important pianists" by The New Yorker, American-born Vijay Iyer is a self-taught marvel who began making music at age three. He was playing jazz in his teens, but went on to get a Masters degree in physics at 22 and then a PhD in music and cognitive
science. When he finally turned his attention to music full time, he proved to be equally eclectic and impressive, thanks to a unique compositional and playing approach that was radical, highly rhythmic, and sinuously complex. Soon gigging with everyone from Steve Coleman’s Five Elements and avant-garde pioneer Roscoe Mitchell to hip-hop theatre artist Will Power and revolutionary poet Amiri Baraka, Iyer toured the festival circuit all over the world. He unveiled his ground-breaking quartet on 2001's Panoptic Modes and the follow-ups Blood Sutra (2003) and Reimagining (2005), and continues to be regarded as one of the most thrilling voices in the world of jazz, topping the Downbeat critics' poll in multiple categories. Iyer will be performing with his acclaimed longtime collaborator Rudresh Mahanthappa on alto saxophone, Justin Brown on drums, and Stephan Crump on bass. "The most commanding pianist and composer to emerge in recent years." - Village Voice
