On 'Uneasy', the trio of pianist Vijay Iyer, bassist Linda May Han Oh, and drummer Tyshawn Sorey demonstrates a refined, intuitive chemistry, navigating compositions that reflect on social and political instability. The album balances a tense, turbulent energy with moments of quiet contemplation, exploring rhythmic complexity and dynamic interplay. Drawing largely from Iyer's compositions from the previous two decades, the recording also features reinterpretations of Geri Allen's "Drummer's Song" and Cole Porter's "Night and Day," blending a commitment to tradition with forward-thinking improvisation.
