CD Review
American pianist Vijay Iyer discussed in this video from his latest album entitled Solo . He compares the process of creating a solo album to astral travel, so we seem to see his own body from outside. Indeed, the solo performance is a formula for the most demanding jazz. It is a strip that requires a lot of confidence and humility to accept the surprises of improvisation. As this is a process that leaves little room for error, says Vijay, he offered the services of the best recording studio in the U.S. west coast. He said he was looking for a piano sound enveloping rather than striking, given the nature of this recording.
's Solo Vijay Iyer is penetrating at will, carving his path to the heart of the music. Solo begins with Human Nature Michael Jackson of , a tribute to the King of Pop, a piece he had also performed with his trio Festival de Jazz de Montréal in 2010 . Iyer takes the standard Epistrophy Thelonious Monk of , Darn That Dream of Jimmy Van Heusen / Eddie Delange then Black & Tan Fantasy and Fleurette Africaine of Duke Ellington . Part of Games Steve Coleman closes standards and demonstrates the range of styles and musical influences of Iyer. Added to these standards Iyer's own compositions, equally mastered. Vijay Iyer's solo is a memorable experience! This album has been named among the top 10 jazz albums of 2010 by JazzTimes , the Village Voice, PopMatters, the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, the Detroit Metro Times, and several other publications.
