Interplay and Improvisation: Oliver Lake and Vijay Iyer

A co-founder of the acclaimed World Saxophone Quartet with Julius Hemphill, Hamiet Bluiett and David Murray, Oliver Lake’s groundbreaking roots/reggae ensemble Jump Up, and collaborations with choreographers, poets and a veritable Who’s Who of the progressive jazz scene have taken him across the U.S., Europe, Japan, the Middle East, Africa and Australia. Here, Lake teams up with Vijay Iyer, “a boundless and deeply important young star” (LA Weekly), described in The Village Voice as “the most commanding jazz pianist and composer to emerge in recent years.”
