Vijay Iyer Trio Live: NPR Music at Winter Jazzfest
Loading...
Uploaded by nprmusic on Jan 18, 2012
'Actions Speak' recorded Jan. 7, 2012 at (Le) Poisson Rouge in New York, N.Y.
Pianist and composer Vijay Iyer leads a trio that traffics in grooves, crackling and heavy. He has a distinctive way of exploiting dissonance and rhythmic space at the piano; he's joined by a deeply resonant, gut-punching bassist (Stephan Crump) and a drummer with an advanced understanding of time (Marcus Gilmore). The results are beats that feel borrowed from a future age; alternately, they're new lenses on jazz's big-picture history.
The band led off its packed-house performance at Le Poisson Rouge with a number by the disco-funk band Heatwave ("The Star of a Story"), created a sort of acoustic Detroit techno ("Hood"), stretched out a Michael Jackson classic ("Human Nature") and played Ronnie Foster's "Mystic Brew" with full knowledge of its sampling by A Tribe Called Quest. A few more originals rounded out this slightly abbreviated set, a partial preview of the upcoming album Accelerando. Full of stutter steps and snare claps, power chords and low end, the concert proved a clear highlight of the 2012 NYC Winter Jazzfest.

Nice job NPR. I would comment that this was one of the most popular sets at the 2012 Jazz Fest, and Le Poisson Rouge was packed to capacity. Needless to say no one except your cameras actually had a view this good. Also you have edited out almost all the audience noise, making it sound like your in a small club. The result is you capture the music, but you have edited out all the electricity and excitement that is uniquely the Winter Jazz Fest (Two Words).
