Last September, I was delighted to jump in last-minute and play on Vijay Iyer’s new CD, his first for ECM Records. The central piece of the album is “Mutations I-X” for piano and string quartet. I had a marvelous time working with Vijay, a brilliant, inspiring, and kind person, and terrific colleagues Michi Wiancko, Kyle Armbrust and Kivie Cahn-Lipman. And it was an honor to meet Manfred Eicher, with whom I’m happy to say I’ll be recording my next album soon in Lugano, for the ECM label.
The release of Mutations is March 4 and we will be taking it on tour soon, including the European premiere at the Haus der Kunst in Munich.
