Iyer, Eicher and ECM sweep DownBeat Poll

Vijay Iyer is Jazz Artist of the Year and the Vijay Iyer Trio is Jazz
 Group of the Year in the DownBeat International Critics Poll, results 
of which are published in the August issue of the US magazine.

  Manfred Eicher is again Producer of the Year and ECM is label of 
the Year. This is the seventh time in recent history that Eicher and his
 label have taken first place positions in the annual poll.

  In an accompanying interview, Vijay Iyer talks about recording with
 ECM: “One thing we gained from ECM is the ability to play quiet and be 
heard. There’s all this subtlety at this barely audible kind of level 
that’s now being featured, so all these details about touch, texture and
 resonance – that tactile quality, the really intimate aspect of the 
music – are present … It’s nice to find ways to express inside that 
quiet space.”
