Après une tournée inaugurale dans les années 90 dans le groupe de Steve Coleman, Vijay Iyer poursuit une carrière atypique mêlant virtuosité, grande connaissance de tous les styles du jazz actuel et relecture contemporaine de ses origines indiennes.

Today, visionary artists such as Danilo Perez, Jason Moran, Marcus Roberts and Gonzalo Rubalcaba ignore contemporary musical expectations. Instead, each creates a world of sound according to his own rules, blithely defying conventions that lesser pianists venerate. To this list must be added Vijay Iyer.
Across this diverse output, Iyer's artistic vision remains unmistakable. His powerful, cutting-edge music is firmly grounded in groove and pulse, but also rhythmically intricate and highly interactive. Its many points of reference include jazz piano titans such as Monk, Ellington, Tyner, Alice Coltrane, Andrew Hill, and Randy Weston; the classical sonorities of composers such as Reich, Ligeti, Messiaen, and Bartok; the low-end sonics of soul, hip-hop, dub, and electronica; the intricate polyphonies of African drumming; and the vital, hypnotic music of Iyer's Indian heritage.
