Jazz supergroup bring critically acclaimed ECM UnEasy album to London. Described by The New York Times as a 'social conscience, multimedia collaborator, system builder, rhapsodist, historical thinker and multicultural gateway', innovative composer and pianist Vijay Iyer is one of the leading music-makers of his generation. His latest album UnEasy with Pat Metheny's bassist and EFG London Jazz Festival 2020 performer Linda May Han Oh and drummer Tyshawn Sorey has had roaring success and is Guardian's Jazz album of the month. 'The trio's expertly attuned playing evokes the openness of improvisation and the urgency of justice. The riveting intensity of the musical exchange throughout shows how productive that intermediary space can be when everyone involved embraces it as a challenge' (Pitchfork) 'Near-boundless potential of new collaboration, in lockstep with the Nobel-worthy chemistry that Iyer, Oh, and Sorey demonstrate' (JazzTimes)
