‘Touba’ from the Vijay Iyer Trio album ‘Uneasy‘.

Vijay Iyer presents a powerful new trio, in which he is joined by two key figures in creative music, Tyshawn Sorey and Linda May Han Oh. “We have an energy together that is very distinct. It has a different kind of propulsion, a different impulse and a different spectrum of colours”. Repertoire on Uneasy, recorded at Oktaven Audio Studio in Mount Vernon, New York in December 2019, includes Iyer originals written over a span of 20 years, plus Geri Allen’s “Drummer’s Song” and a radical recasting of Cole Porter’s “Night and Day.”

Personnel:

Vijay Iyer – piano
Linda May Han Oh – double bass
Tyshawn Sorey – drums
