“Fieldwork’s rhythmic logic can be immensely involved, but the results are disarmingly concise. The music is also rich in paradox: dark yet uplifting, intellectually demanding yet effortlessly funky.”

Fieldwork, with young composer-performers:pianist Vijay Iyer, saxophonist Steve Lehman, and drummer Tyshawn Sorey.
