Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
"Vijay Iyer's arrangements range over a broad swath of improvisational and textural ground, flirting with hip-hop, ambient drone, and jazz noir." -- Pitchfork "Pianist-composer Vijay Iyer amplifies that tangle of anger, pain, and motion with a spinning-wheel score." -- Rolling Stone "A graceful yet sturdy sort of chamber jazz, consistently surprising and unique." -- The Wire Praised on NPR's Fresh Air as "a jazz power trio for the new century," Fieldwork makes its most powerful and fiercely imagined statement to date with Door, the group's third album for Pi Recordings. An important marker in this New York collective's ongoing evolution, Door documents three years of intense collaboration and is the first Fieldwork recording to feature the jaw-dropping contributions of Tyshawn Sorey, drummer, composer, and co-leader of Fieldwork since 2005. Rounded out by saxophonist/composer Steve Lehman and pianist/composer Vijay Iyer, Fieldwork reflects and refracts the American jazz tradition, modern composition, African and South Asian music, underground hip-hop and electronica, and the influential music of Chicago's AACM.
