Although Vijay Iyer is probaly one of the most celebrated pianists in contempoary jazz, I assume that most jazz music is rarely heard, if your not really a full jazz fan. I had the opportunity to see the Vijay Iyer Trio live at the jazz festival in Saalfelden, Austria. I didn't know about him till then; I was there to see Ornette Coleman, who played right afterwards. His album "Historicity" was voted by Downbeat's Critics Poll as Best Jazz Album Of The Year 2010, his album "Accelerando" made the Poll again in 2012. And then some say his most recent album "BreakStuff" tops them all.
