(ECM) Touching on both Cole Porter and Eric Garner, this long-time trio invigorate bop with thrilling, socially conscious free jazz Moving to a group pulse ...

Fri 23 Apr 2021 03.30 EDT For a former Yale maths graduate fascinated by the metrical labyrinths of South Indian Carnatic music, the prolific Tamil-descended American pianist and composer Vijay Iyer is pretty nonchalant about letting his bands loose with the sketchiest of plans. Partnerships with unpredictable outcomes have driven him since the mid-1990s, whether in post-bop, free jazz, classical music, or projects with film-makers, poets and choreographers, while his composing has been influenced by legends from Thelonious Monk to Stevie Wonder. Uneasy is this trioâs ECM debut, but its intuitive intimacy goes back to its formation in 2014 at Canadaâs Banff International Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music, where Iyer, Malaysia-born bassist Linda May Han Oh and American multi-instrumentalist and composer Tyshawn Sorey have since reconvened annually.
