Vijay Iyer / Mike ladd: Holding It Down: The Veterans’ Dreams Project
by AAJ Staff
Devo confessare che--pur nel rispetto delle opinione di tutti e ben consapevole che il percorso artistico di Vijay Iyer possa anche non piacere--ho trovato estremamente ingenerosi, talvolta ai limiti della stupidità, molti commenti negativi e invidiosi che si sono susseguiti nei social networks all'indomani della vittoria del pianista della prestigiosa [e soprattutto pecuniariamente corposa] MacArthur Grant. ...

JACK Quartet The MAC Belfast January 18, 2013 “This is really weird," a woman said as she deliberated where to sit for the concert.
