Jazz pianist Vijay Iyer might just be the kind of badass we need in our Sun Ra-less lives.
Not only has he garnered numerous citations--DownBeat's International Critics' Poll awarded him Jazz Artist of the Year and Pianist of the Year, to name but two--but he's also slated to become a professor at Harvard University soon.
Lest we forget, too, he just won that John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Genius Grant.
Yes, indeed, Vijay Iyer is a true renaissance man.
If, like Classicalite, you've been blinded by his light, then you must check out the Vijay Iyer Trio at their Jazz at Lincoln Center debut this weekend.
