Vijay Iyer Quartet

“A one-of-a-kind quartet . . . so rhythmically gripping and harmonically provocative that one hardly can wait to hear what outlandish idea these players will hit upon next.”—Los Angeles Times

Vijay Iyer, “the most commanding pianist and composer to emerge in recent years” (Village Voice), brings a fresh perspective to new jazz composition through a disarming blend of postbop, Indian, and contemporary music. His quartet of dexterous young guns, respected equally for their chops and adventurousness, lays down mind-boggling polyrhythms, twisting melodies, and white-hot solos in virtuosic performances. Featuring Vijay Iyer (piano), Rudresh Mahanthappa (alto saxophone), Stephen Crump (bass), and Marcus Gilmore (percussion). Presented in association with the Indian Music Society of Minnesota.
