Vijay Iyer Trio

Tuesday 1 & Wednesday 2 May

Pianist-composer Vijay Iyer's career has moved on an ever-accelerating arc over the past decade and a half, with the Indian-American artist earning a slew of international honors for his intrepid, multi-hued vision of 21st-century music.

Vijay returns to the Vortex with his trio to celebrate the release of their new CD 'Accelerando' (ACT Music + Vision).

The music ranges over Iyer originals, pieces by great jazz composers (Duke Ellington, Herbie Nichols, Henry Threadgill) to surprising interpretations of vintage, pop and funk tunes (Michael Jackson, Heatwave, Flying Lotus).

Absorbing and infectious, this is jazz about not only the mind but the body.

"One of the world's most inventive new-generation jazz pianists" (The Guardian).
