About Vijay Iyer Quartet with Adam O’Farrill, Linda May Han Oh, Tyshawn Sorey
Vijay Iyer is a New York pianist and composer who records for ECM and teaches at Harvard. He came to music partly through science, studying maths and physics before a doctorate on rhythm and music cognition. That interest in pulse runs through this band. Bassist Linda May Han Oh, raised in Perth, and drummer Tyshawn Sorey, a composer in his own right and a Pulitzer Prize winner, have recorded with Iyer as a trio on the albums Uneasy and Compassion.
The Vijay Iyer Quartet adds trumpeter Adam O'Farrill, son of pianist Arturo O'Farrill and grandson of the Cuban arranger Chico O'Farrill. His bright, searching lines give Iyer's interlocking piano figures a second voice, while Oh and Sorey shift the groove under tightly composed material.
