Pianist and composer Vijay Iyer—whose album with Henry Threadgill and Dafnis Prieto, Fifteen, is due August 21 on Nonesuch—stopped by for the Nonesuch Selects video series, in which artists visit the Nonesuch office, pick some of their favorite albums from the music library, and share a few words on their choices. He chose recordings by Ramnad Krishnan, Laurie Anderson, Julius Hemphill, Kronos Quartet, and Cécile McLorin Salvant, and from the Nonesuch Explorer Series. You can watch it below and subscribe to the Nonesuch Records YouTube channel for all the latest.

Fifteen, the first album from the collective trio of saxophonist and flutist Henry Threadgill, pianist Vijay Iyer, and drummer Dafnis Prieto, is also the label debut for all three musicians. The record takes its name from the number of years the trio has been performing together—first at a series of benefits for the New York City club the Jazz Gallery, a club they have since played at periodically, and then around the US and internationally. It comprises three compositions by Threadgill and Iyer and two by Prieto. You can hear two tracks from the album and pre-order it here.
