With recent ECM albums including last year’s duet with trumpeter Wadada Leo
Smith, and 2015’s Break Stuff with bassist Stephan Crump and rhythmically
mind-bending drummer Marcus Gilmore, pianist/composer Vijay Iyer has maintained
his exciting and exacting standards for small ensembles. Now comes this
terrific session for the Iyer Sextet that augments his trio (Tyshawn Sorey is
on drums this time) with trumpeter Graham Haynes, and fine saxophonists Steve
Lehman and Mark Shim. An object lesson in music for the heart, the head and the
feet, Far from Over often sounds like vivacious folk music or displaced blues,
reflects the hipness of Miles Davis’s 1960s postbop bands and 70s electronic
ones or the contemporaneity of slow-burn Bad Plus buildups, and yet is
consistently spine-tingling in improvisations that sound simultaneously inside
and outside the harmonies. The bullishly fast-moving title track typifies the
whole set’s verve, the funky Nope audaciously splices disjointed grooves, the
bumpily jazzy Good on the Ground manipulates south Indian rhythms, while Wake
is a reflective, softly calling tone poem. As a contemporary jazz set, Far from
Over has just about everything.
