Playing This Weekend: Vijay Iyer

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Dec 10, 2021

[REBROADCAST FROM April 21, 2021] Uneasy is the latest album from pianist, MacArthur fellow, and Harvard professor in the departments of music and African and African American studies, Vijay Iyer, along with collaborators Tyshawn Sorey on drums and bassist Linda May Han Oh. Iyer wrote the compositions over the last two decades with ideas of justice, equity, and identity in mind, and in response to events, including the death of Eric Garner in 2014. Iyer joins us for a Listening Party.

Tonight, December 10, Vijay Iyer will be performing at the Park Avenue Armory with vocalist Arooj Aftab.
