Vijay Iyer

There’s an incredible abundance of great new jazz albums already out this year. Here are five handpicked by Greg Bryant, host of Evening Jazz and the Get Down on WRTI.

'Compassion,' the second studio album by the Vijay Iyer Trio, will be released on Feb. 2. ECM has just shared a video of the title track.

This week, Fanfare puts the focus on a new piano concerto, an inspiring comeback at the keyboard, and a noted friendship between two composers.

By the wily standards of Sexmob, 'The Hard Way' combines what you might call a classical approach with a radical new working method. Nate Chinen has our Album of the Week review.

In its Tiny Desk performance, the trio makes music strictly for the moment — creating a shared language in real time.

On their debut album, the improvisational supergroup — singer Arooj Aftab, pianist Vijay Iyer and bassist Shahzad Ismaily — try to answer a musical riddle: What does listening sound like?

Trumpeter-bandleader Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah and singer-songwriter Somi Kakoma are among the six new recipients of Doris Duke Artist Awards, which celebrated a tenth anniversary on Feb. 13 in New York.

In her DACAMERA recital, Sarah Rothenberg pairs the world premiere of "For My Father," by pianist and composer Vijay Iyer, with works by Beethoven and Feldman.

For the final entry in Morning Edition's Song Project series, Vijay Iyer wrote a rhizomatic, inviting — and not entirely placating — instrumental piece to encapsulate his past year.

The composer and pianist joined with drummer Tyshawn Sorey and bassist Linda May Han Oh in late 2019 to record Uneasy, which now functions as a welcome reminder.
