Vijay Iyer: Compassion
by Mike Jurkovic
As the title track of Compassion gets conjured up on a rubato tumble of Tyshawn Sorey's cymbals, bassist Linda May Han Oh begins her work which--on all of Compassion--is herculean. Vijay Iyer ushers in, and a quiet thing of beauty gets underway. It is one of the album's monster tracks. And eleven more tracks follow.
Vijay Iyer: Compassion

In rock music, it often referred to members of a successful rock group who got together for a recording, frequently disbanding later. Fortunately, Vijay Iyer, Linda May Han Oh and Tyshawn Sorey are going from strength ...
Vijay Iyer: Compassion
by Doug Collette
Vijay Iyer's Compassion should ratify his position alongside Brad Mehldau and Fred Hersch in the pantheon of contemporary jazz pianists/composers.

It comprises four players, each with a big sound, regardless of amplification, and a big personality to match--Amsterdam-based American John Dikeman, on tenor saxophone, and the British threesome of Pat Thomas (hailed ...

For this week's show, let's look back at 2023 and give a listen to projects that stuck with me in my listening. This is not a best of the year list. I think of it more of a revisiting of excellent works that I would highly recommend. Welcome friends and neighbors to The Jazz Continuum. Old, ...
