VIJAY IYER TRIO
Friday, December 3 at 8p
Reynolds Industries Theater at Duke University
Admission Ticket Price: SPECIAL PRICE OF $15 FOR ICMDS MEMBERS AND
PATRONS.

A "boundless and deeply important young star" (LA Weekly), Iyer sits
at the head of a new table of jazz titans, calling on a grab bag of
sources—foreign and domestic, pop and jazz—to forge a bold new sound
that's American to its core, with a "liquid urgency that consistently
staggers the imagination" (All Music Guide). His audacious
compositions and nervy piano line have already placed him in the
pantheon of modern greats, "redefining the nature of modern jazz
pianism" (Chicago Tribune).
