Far From Over

by Vijay Iyer Sextet

Far From Over cover art

On 'Far From Over', the Vijay Iyer Sextet delivers a program of rhythmically complex and harmonically adventurous music that leverages the formidable power of its three-horn frontline and dynamic rhythm section. The album balances intricate, layered compositions drawing from post-bop, funk, and South Indian rhythms with visceral, high-energy improvisation from its virtuosic members. The production by Manfred Eicher for the ECM label captures the ensemble's explosive interplay and risk-taking spirit with characteristic clarity and depth, ranging from the cathartically elegiac to the thrillingly explosive.
