Pianist and composer Vijay Iyer describes all his projects on his homepage. The only one for which he merely strings together press reviews - all of them hymnal, of course - is the trio. It is currently the most outstanding of its kind and is almost lavishly filled with irritating individual artistic excellence. The New York Times was stunned: "It's as if this band wants to both seduce and unsettle us by taking away everything but the ability to think and see for ourselves." The American with Indian roots was not only awarded the MacArthur Fellowship, popularly known as the "genius prize". He was also the first person to win no less than five categories in one year in the critics' poll of "Down Beat", the world's most important jazz magazine. The man is an event. Period.
