Vijay Iyer
Born:
Composer-pianist VIJAY IYER (pronounced “VID-jay EYE-yer”) has carved out a unique path as an influential, prolific, shape-shifting presence in modern music. He was described by Pitchfork as "one of the best in the world at what he does," by the Los Angeles Weekly as “a boundless and deeply important young star,” by the New York Times as a “social conscience, multimedia collaborator, system builder, rhapsodist, historical thinker and multicultural gateway,” and by Minnesota Public Radio as “an American treasure.” A musical innovator, an active collaborator, and a member of multiple artistic communities, Iyer continues to reimagine the role of the musician in the 21st century. Iyer’s Uneasy, a trio recording made with his friends and collaborators Linda May Han Oh on bass and Tyshawn Sorey on drums, was released by ECM in April 2021 to wide acclaim, the Boston Globe calling it “extraordinary,” and noting it as “another entry in Iyer’s extensive oeuvre, reaffirming his status as one of the most creative figures in improvised music.”
I dischi del 2025 secondo Paolo Peviani
by Paolo Peviani
Si avverte sempre più la mancanza di una selezione a monte, di produttori capaci di filtrare e fare scelte. È un trend che non scopriamo oggi, ma che sembra ormai vicino a un punto di rottura.

Maurizio Zerbo's Favorite Jazz Albums of 2025
by Maurizio Zerbo
2025 will be remembered by critics and jazz fans alike for the exceptional quality and remarkable breadth of its recorded output, driven by polycentric forces and by music not always strictly jazz, yet sharing with the jazz aesthetic its spirit, techniques, and formal approaches. This selection of mine, presented in order of preference, also ...
I Dischi del 2025 secondo Maurizio Zerbo
by Maurizio Zerbo
Il 2025 sarà ricordato da addetti ai lavori e jazzofili per l'altissima qualità e la notevole varietà delle proposte discografiche, animate da forze policentriche e da musiche non sempre direttamente jazzistiche, ma accomunate a questa estetica da spirito, tecniche e soluzioni formali. Questa mia selezione, presentata in ordine di preferenza, testimonia anche lo straordinario ...

The five U.S. jazz albums and the five Italian jazz albums selected here represent, in my view, the very best of what was released in 2025. They stand out for their innovative spirit, expressive intensity, and interpretive freshness. The list is not ranked: each title fully deserves its place at the top. Patricia ...
I dischi del 2025 secondo Angelo Leonardi
by Angelo Leonardi
I cinque dischi di jazz internazionale e i cinque di jazz italiano qui selezionati si collocano, a mio parere, ai vertici di quanto è stato pubblicato nel 2025. Si distinguono per forza innovativa, intensità espressiva e freschezza interpretativa. L'elenco non segue un ordine di valore: ogni titolo occupa, a pieno titolo, il proprio posto al vertice. ...

by Dan McClenaghan
The albums on this Best of the Year list were picked on the run, as the months unfolded. Sometimes, second-guessing comes into play at the time of compilation. Not this time. All of these recordings are worthy of being called the Best of 2025. Andrew HillA Beautiful Day, Revisited Palmetto ...
