Vijay Iyer Trio, Liszt Academy Budapest, 19 March
- 9 Mar 2015 8:02 AM
Vijay Iyer has been described by The New Yorker as one of “today’s most important pianists”, adding that he is “extravagantly gifted and brilliantly eclectic”. In 2010 the American Jazz Journalists Association (JJA) voted him Musician of the Year, and in the same year his triple album Historicity received a Grammy nomination.
Born in New York to immigrant Indian parents, Vijay Iyer has played in many different line-ups, including alongside Steve Coleman, Roscoe Mitchell and Rudresh Mahanthappa.
This combo, made up with Marcus Gilmore (grandson of Roy Haynes) on drums and Stephan Crump on bass, is a modern take on the classical piano trio; they place particular stress on refined rhythm solutions settled on the core beat, silky smooth improvisations and emotionally rich yet at the same time carefully contrived textures.
