“Pianist Vijay Iyer's compositions are ferociously paced and fractured with a sense of urgency that informs each note he plays. His inventive takes on M.I.A. and Stevie Wonder are just as thrilling as standards like the West Side Story classic "Somewhere," which he imbues with a chilling sense of urgency. This high-energy, adventurous spirit should serve him well in tonight's work-in-progress collab with English-professor-turned-spoken-word-performer Mike Ladd, as the two mine the psyches of war veterans to craft these unique dream works.”
