In this lineup of the Trio, the pianist joins forces with bassist Stephan Crump and drummer Tyshawn Sorey. Both are longtime members of the Vijay Iyer Sextet, voted “Jazz Band of the Year” in the 2018 Jazz Journalists Association Jazz Awards. With a very special guest to be announced! “…A highly maneuverable vehicle for his African, Indian and math–inspired rhythmic ideas, now at a dizzying pinnacle of contemporary jazz multitasking.” (John Fordham, The Guardian, 1.29.2015)      “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.  Vijay Iyer – piano Stephan Crump – bass Tyshawn Sorey – drums With Special Guest Wadada Leo Smith – trumpet
