Maybe one of the warmest recordings we've ever heard from pianist
Vijay Iyer – but that's maybe no surprise, as the session is graced with these sublime vocals from singer
Arooj Aftab – and delivered in a style that's much more than standard jazz!
Iyer plays Fender Rhodes and piano, and adds in a bit of electronics – while
Shahzad Ismaily uses moog and a vintage Fender bass – all flowing effortlessly, while
Aftab brings in these vocal moments that feel both ancient and yet have a sense of new global horizons too – recorded with just a touch of echo that might evoke vintage 4AD. Titles include "Sharabi", "Eyes Of The Endless", "Shadow Forces", "To Remain/
To Return", and "Haseen Thi".
