Vijay Iyer: Bloodsutra – COMPACT DISCS

The Vijay Iyer Quartet’s stunning follow-up to PANOPTIC MODES now re-released on Pi Recordings. Raises Iyer’s writing and playing to the next level, BLOOD SUTRA finds him engaging in sharply diverse but well-balanced forms on each track and coming up a winner every time… not simply a great jazz record, BLOOD STURA is a statement of purpose from an artist whose youth stands in contrast to his irrefutable skill. – Jazziz.
