Borderlands Trio: Asteroidea
by Mark Corroto
I'll venture a guess that the listing of the names on Borderlands Trio's cover is arranged in alphabetic order, Crump, Davis, then McPherson. That is because nothing in the performance reveals a leader, nor a dominant signature. For adventurous listeners, isn't that exactly what we want from our improvisors? Let's stick with just Borderlands ...

Vijay Iyer: Far from Over
by Mike Jurkovic
Vijay Iyer sounds so evolved and invigorating with each release that it's easy to forget that his eye-opening debut Memorophilia, Asian Improv Records) was two-plus decades ago. Think about it, Blood Sutra, Historicity, Accelerando, Tirtha... But over the course of his ECM five disc career (beginning with 2014's Mutations), there has been a little ...
Vijay Iyer Sextet: Far from Over
by Enrico Bettinello
Come tutti i musicisti dotati di un'intelligenza non comune, Vijay Iyer sfida continuamente i propri ascoltatori a seguirlo dentro territori stimolanti.

Vijay Iyer Sextet: Far From Over
by Karl Ackermann
There are any number of valid ways to describe Vijay Iyer's music over the course of his twenty-three albums. Analytical, angular, intricate, dissonant, and oddly lyrical; his two previous ECM releases, Break Stuff (2015) and the duo outing, A Cosmic Rhythm With Each Stroke, with Wadada Leo Smith (2016), have been more widely accessible without forsaking ...
