Vijay Iyer: Solo
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist Vijay Iyer may be one of the great ones; only time will tell. The pianist has risen to become a critics' darling, mostly on the basis of his quartet outings, including the much-lauded Reimagining (Savoy Jazz, 2005) and Tragicomic (Sunnyside Records, 2008). He's worked a trio magic, to, -with his piano/saxophone/drums Fieldwork group, on the ...
Vijay Iyer: Solo
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il suo è un tocco pesante e deciso. Immagina gli 88 tasti del pianoforte come gli attrezzi di una palestra. Dopo i fasti dell'acclamato Historicity, Vijay Iyer doveva andare da solo. E per farlo non poteva che mettere a fuoco la sua forza, la sua dirompenza, il tocco cristallino e rotondo: doveva irrobustire le tessiture con ...
Vijay Iyer: Solo
by Bruce Lindsay
Vijay Iyer's trio album, Historicity (ACT, 2009), brought the pianist much critical acclaim and saw him awarded the 2010 Jazz Journalist Association Musician Of The Year.

Solo comes after the critical success of his trio's Historicity (ACT Music, 2009) and quartet's Tragicomic (Sunnyside, 2008). Iyer is a kind of Renaissance man, with ...
Vijay Iyer: Solo
by Chris May
Pianist Vijay Iyer's Historicity (ACT Music, 2009) was among the spellbinders of its year, a 10 track trio album, one half originals, one half covers. Solo makes a return visit to the same playground, its 11 tracks comprising five originals and six covers of tunes written by Duke Ellington ("Black & Tan Fantasy," “La Fleurette Africaine"), ...
Johnny Butler: Solo
by Mark F. Turner
On any street corner or venue it's possible to hear a musician playing solo saxophone, its reed-song beckoning down thoroughfares to anyone that will listen. But by putting a spin on things, it's quite another matter to hear and see that horn wired into a laptop computer, as it provides multiphonic voices and looped patterns, fed ...
