Aggregate Prime: Dream Deferred
Sono proprio questi ultimi a scompigliare un poco le carte, niente di eclatante s'intende, ma sufficiente per traghettare l'incisione al di fuori delle secche di un jazz di routine.
Iyer, a proprio agio anche in un contesto mainstream, inserisce con precisione chirurgica momenti di maggior arditezza e libertà esecutiva. Il flauto di Gary Thomas ha più di un eco doplhiano mentre al tenore alterna il suono pieno e vigoroso della classicità con le asperità e le linee oblique tipiche dei suoi lavori per la compianta JMT Records. E non a caso l'episodio più intrigante e articolato del lotto -i quasi otto minuti di "Father Spirit" -porta la firma del pianista di origini indiane.
