Vijay Iyer Trio: Accelerando
by AAJ Italy Staff
Stessa etichetta, stessa formazione, stessa miscela di composizioni originali, di standard jazz e di pop covers, stessa grande musica. Ci riferiamo al Vijay Iyer Trio che bissa lo splendido Historicity con l'altrettanto splendido Accelerando. Partiamo da “Human Nature," per chi scrive la vetta dell'album.

By integrating Indian classical ragas, Mahanthappa fuses a highly progressive jazz base into his undulating and, at times, mesmeric compositions. With touches of jazz-fusion, framed on sprawling improvisational forums, the artist's global approach reaps additional rewarding factors via his signature sound, ...
