A rare and special opportunity to hear Iyer unaccompanied. “Anyone who has seen Vijay Iyer live knows the man is an inventive musician; his grace on the stage is staggering, as are his composing talents and his mastery of the piano.” (James Brock, Papercity (Houston TX)) “A self–taught pianist with a scholarly background, Vijay Iyer arrived at jazz stardom through a side door. But in the past five years or so, he has increasingly been invited into some of music’s most rarefied spaces, largely because of his iconoclasm, not in spite of it. Genre definitions have largely dissolved; nondenominational leaders are needed.” (Giovanni Russonello, NY Times, 6.7.2017) Jazz Standard is proud to present the award–winning pianist, composer and bandleader in this multi–format, multi–night engagement.
