Vijay Iyer, MacArthur “Genius”, comes to the venerable club Jazz Standard in midtown Manhattan for a series of performances with his trio and in the solo shows.  Iyer, a powerful pianist, composer, and bandleader, holds a very special place among the contemporary jazz musicians. The critics note the potency and “physicality” of his music as described by The Guardian.

Both of his groups – the Trio and the Sextet – are well known to the music fans. In this engagement, the Trio will surely not disappoint the lucky audience. Performances by Iyer and his musicians are intense and are calling for deep concentration with little time for introductions and time taking reminiscence of the origins of the compositions. Hold your breath, immerse yourself in the sound and enjoy every second of the music!           BUY TICKETS
