NEWS: Fieldwork release: Thereupon

Thereupon is the long-anticipated return of the all-star collaborative trio Fieldwork, which has been described by NPR asa "power trio for the new century." This long-standing collective comprises three internationally revered innovators of contemporary music: alto saxophonist-composer Steve Lehman, pianist-composer Vijay Iyer, and drummer-composer Tyshawn Sorey. In the seventeen years since their last recording, Door (Pi), all three musicians have climbed to the pinnacle of the creative music scene and received universal acclaim for their work, each one significantly reshaping the language of creative music in his own way. Remarkably, as Fieldwork, the whole is even greater than the sum of its parts, as the group continues to redefine the possibilities for ensemble music-making.

“Player-composers Vijay Iyer, 53, and Wadada Leo Smith, 83, continue their decade-long musical conversation with this sublimely beautiful meditation on their "ongoing sorrow and outrage of the past year," Iyer writes, but with "faith in human possibility." If the album begins in darkness, the intertwining lyrical exchanges of keyboards, trumpet, and subtle electronics ultimately bring light.”
