The New York Times captured the special qualities of this group, pointing to the trio's flair for playing \"with a lithe range of motion and resplendent clarity... while stoking a kind of writhing internal tension. Crucial to that balance is their ability to connect with each other almost telepathically.\" Compassion, Iyer's eighth release as a leader for ECM, continues his drive to explore fresh territory while also referencing his forebears along the way, two of them long associated with the label. The album includes a lyrical homage to Chick Corea via the late pianist's valedictory interpretation of Stevie Wonder's \"Overjoyed.\" Another tip of the hat comes with \"Nonaah,\" a whirlwind of a piece by avant-garde sage Roscoe Mitchell, a key mentor for the pianist. Then there are Iyer's own melodically alluring, rhythmically invigorating compositions, ranging from the pensive title track to the hook-laced highlights \"Tempest\" and \"Ghostrumental.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vijay Lyer \/ Linda May Han Oh \/ Tyshawn Sorey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46971175338159,"sku":"602458351439","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshized.com\/products\/compassion-vinyl-lp","provider":"Freshized","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
