Iyer’s album with flutist Henry Threadgill and drummer Dafnis Prieto, Fifteen, was released last month on Nonesuch Records. “By turns gleeful, sensitive, urgent and ruminative, this is a brilliant set that plays to the trio’s formidable strengths,” says the Guardian’s four-star album review. “Hearteningly delightful contemporary music-making.”
