Vijay Iyer solo

Absolutely brilliant on the piano Vijay Iyer is one of the leading figures in contemporary music. As a composer and pianist, he has built up an extensive and influential body of work over the past three decades, with 29 albums, multiple Grammy nominations and awards such as the MacArthur Fellowship, the Edison Award and the Echo Award. He has been named Jazz Artist of the Year by DownBeat four times. His solo piano work forms the core of his artistic practice. Iyer combines a profound understanding of the jazz tradition with contemporary composition and rhythmic complexity. His playing is clearly structured, with distinct references to figures such as Ellington, Monk, Alice Coltrane and Geri Allen. Witness the master at work. For fans of Monk, Geri Allen, Alice Coltrane, Craig Taborn
