Kevin LeGendre talks to New York pianist Vijay Iyer, who since 1999 has staked a claim as one of the city's key new voices, producing highly-rated work with his quartet, his trio and a duet with spoken word artist Mike Ladd. Vijay gives his thoughts on playing solo as opposed to playing in the Quartet and talks about the influence of pop music on his own compositions, which in turn has become part of today's jazz.
