Description
'Raw Materials', Vijay Iyer and Rudresh Mahanthappa's duo recording originally out on Savoy Jazz is now available in Europe from Pi Recordings.
The two have been performing together for over a decade in each others quartets and various groups. Now for the first time, jazz visionaries Iyer and Mahanthappa have distilled their closely entwined musical language into their first duo recording. The release of 'Raw Materials' fills a glaring space in Iyer and Mahanthappa's discography, as the two have performed together as a duo almost since their first meeting. The CD is a fascinating look into a unique musical dialogue that some have compared to that between John Coltrane and McCoy Tyner.
