Vijay Iyer Trio (USA), Liszt Academy Budapest, 20 March
- 6 Mar 2015 8:00 AM
The New Yorker called Vijay Iyer one of “today’s most important pianists … extravagantly gifted … and brilliantly eclectic”. In 2010 he was voted Musician of the Year by the American Jazz Journalists Association, and in the same year his trio album Historicity received a Grammy nomination.
Born in New York of immigrant Indian parents, Iyer played in a variety of bands including alongside Steve Coleman, Roscoe Mitchell and Rudresh Mahanthappa.
The ensemble founded with drummer Marcus Gilmore and bass player Stephan Crump is a modern rethink of the classical piano trio, in which refined rhythmic solutions for the base beat, fluent improvisation, emotional and carefully contrived textures are given particular prominence.
