	Vijay Iyer: Press
		Pianist-composer Vijay Iyer amplifies that tangle of anger, pain, and motion with a spinning-wheel score for jazz-rock septet: roiling outbreaks of fusion, lusty sighs of brass, jolts of electro hip-hop.
		Vijay Iyer opened his Jazz Standard set with an elbow to the bass clef, followed by a dark drone balancing a light single-note tune and belling treble chords, sustaining a rhythmic pulse without giving into foursquare swing...
		"New York-based pianist Vijay Iyer dances and pounces on the keys; he swings and swaggers; he plays into pockets of hushed lyricism, then charges with riveting thrusts that bloom into fiery coils of rhythm.

	village voice > music > Vijay Iyer's Reimagining by Francis Davis
		Vijay Iyer's Reimagining ends with and takes its title from—sort of—a solo piano rumination on a John Lennon song I never liked to begin with, then came to despise through oversaturation in the days following Lennon's murder.
		Vijay Iyer and Rudresh Mahanthappa sure are tough-minded—and also Indian Americans

	Praise for Vijay Iyer's Music
		Iyer has played and recorded with a wide range of musicians: he leads the Vijay Iyer Trio, Spirit Complex, and Poisonous Prophets; and he's worked with people such as M-Base leader Steve Coleman, iconoclastic hip-hop group Midnight Voices, trombonist George Lewis, and saxophonist Francis Wong.
		Iyer's own recordings suggest an ardent student of late-60's jazz -- which, in fact, he is. But on closer examination the rhythmic cycles of the South Indian music he absorbed as a child begin to appear.
		Iyer, who sees "the focus on rhythmic detail and improvisation" as a bridge between jazz and South Indian music, often builds suspense around a rhythmic cadence known as a tihai.

	Vijay Iyer
		I had the great fortune of seeing a superb duo performance by pianist Vijay Iyer and alto saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa at Berkeley's Center for New Music and Technology.
		Iyer was born and raised in Rochester, New York, the son of South Indian immigrants.
		Iyer and Mahanthappa are both exceptionally talented young musicians (in their mid 20's) who have a natural musical affinity for each other.

	Vijay Iyer: Press
		Iyer is equipped with a whole arsenal of gimmick-less tricks, and hearing him unfurl one astonishing surprise after another is a true delight: sudden tempo changes, cat-and-mouse intervallic substitutions, telepathic two-handed in(ter)dependence; these are the axles around which the pianist’s full-bodied improvisations rotate....
		Iyer's tireless imagination on piano, and his breadth of expression as composer make "Reimagining" the epic statement it is and Iyer one of the most promising voices in jazz today.
		Iyer is an academic, but he is entirely self-taught as a pianist and possesses the infinite free choices of the autodidact.

	04.15.98 - Jazz Pianist Vijay Iyer Combines Art and Technology
		Besides his own groups – the Vijay Iyer Trio and Poisonous Prophets – Iyer performs with the hip-hop group Midnight Voices and several of the leaders in avant-garde jazz.
		Iyer assembled a dissertation committee consisting of music professor David Wessel, director of Berkeley’s Center for New Music and Acoustic Technologies; music professor and former chair Olly Wilson; psychology professor Erv Hafter; UC San Diego music professor George Lewis; and Nobel laureate/physics and neurobiology professor emeritus Don Glaser.
		Iyer’s next step is to look for an academic post in New York, where he hopes to pursue his music career.

	Amardeep Singh: Vijay Iyer piece in the Boston Globe
		While what Vijay Iyer does might not be 'Indian jazz' in his mind, the presence and involvement of largely South Asian audiences at performances serve to render jazz a desi cultural form available for advancing other projects (I am thinking of anything from activist work to marketing).
		What Vijay Iyer is playing in his solo work (like the recent CD Reimagining) will appeal to pretty much anyone who likes Thelonious Monk; I gather from the positive reviews of Reimagining in mainstream jazz magazines like Downbeat and the Village Voice that audiences and critics are seeing it that way too.
		We're already seeing it to some extent, as Vijay Iyer and his various ensembles tend to draw a fair numer of South Asians at their shows on the east coast.

	Vijay Iyer, Part 1-2
		Vijay Iyer: My sister, whoâs a few years older, was taking piano lessons; she started at the same time I started violin and so we had a piano in the house from the same time that I started playing violin.
		I spoke with Iyer in Chicago a few hours before his quartet took the stage of the Green Mill for the second of their two-night run.
		With his remarkable quartet and their fine new CD Reimagining, his collaborative, experimental trio Fieldwork (whose new CD Simulated Progress should turn some heads when itâs released in July), his past and future collaborations with spoken-word/experimental hip-hop artist Mike Ladd, and his other ongoing projects, Iyer is undeniably active.
