New Vijay Iyer Track, "Hood", Hits the Web

We've seen this pattern before. Vijay Iyer puts out a spectacular trio album and then other live tracks start to float around in its wake, not quite making the cut of the album but considered unofficial bonus tracks. This time around, "Hood", a tribute to house music producer Robert Hood, was recorded in London on May 1 of this year for a session on BBC Radio 3 airing June 11th, and we've got the SoundCloud stream from BBC Radio right here.

It's pretty difficult to picture a time in which pianist Vijay Iyer hasn't emanated calm. In every interview, tweet, and essay, Iyer has always shown a depth of wisdom and serenity, even when his music can at times portray an immense freneticism, especially in his most recent album on the ACT label, Accelerando. It is only upon tapping this wisdom can one find that his calm in contrast with his ever-present potential for frenzy is always rooted in his ability to capture the moment.

Someone come up with a clever name for these link dumps. I’m open to suggestions (among other things, we are an open submission site, you know).
