The Festival Finale features the Vijay Iyer Trio, featuring Roy Haynes and Sheila Jordan on Sunday, June 10. It is an open air concert at

Vijay Iyer is American-born musician who draws upon a global repertoire of influences, rhythms and inspirations, all of which come together in his compositions and execution.

Traditional jazz trio roles are abandoned or exchanged; sometimes Vijay’s piano drives the rhythm, while the drummer supplies embellishment. The music doesn’t swing, it pulses, and it’s crazily buoyant.

Naturally Iyer's group will embrace the "Jazz Roy-alty" theme of the Finale.  On stage will be Graham Haynes, a virtuoso cornetist and electronic music maven who’s been part of the New York experimental scene since the 1980s. 

 The drummer for the gig, Tyshawn Sorey, has a symphonic sweep to his playing that will undoubtedly mesh perfectly with Vijay’s eclectic musical ideas. Bassist Stephan Crump will supply the intuitive pulse that drives the Vijay Iyer Trio.
