Vijay Iyer

Trailblazing pianist Vijay Iyer, one of his generation's brightest jazz luminaries, explores jazz, pop and electronica vanguards with equal curiosity. You can hear the eclecticism throughout his impressively prolific recent portfolio: chamber works, a multimedia collaboration, a curatorial position as Musical Director of the Ojai Music Festival. After playing solo Jan 29, he settles into a string of trio gigs with acclaimed drummer Tyshawn Sorey and bassist Linda May Han Oh; special guest Waddada Leo Smith joins Feb 1.
