Album of the Year Prize for Vijay Iyer Trio 

The Vijay Iyer Trio – with pianist Vijay Iyer,
bassist Stephan Crump and drummer Marcus Gilmore – has won the German
Record Critics’ Album of the Year prize (Preis der Deutschen
Schallplattenkritik)  for its album Break Stuff.

The jury statement says: “Filigree ramifications and powerplay, high
speed and slowness, harmony bliss and dissonance: out of contrasting
elements the Vijay Iyer Trio shapes intense compositions, which draw
from the history of jazz as well as from European concert music.”

The German Record Critics' Award ("Preis der deutschen
Schallplattenkritik") was established in 1980 to set the "most rigorous
standards for supreme achievement and quality" in the field of music
recording. The German Record Critics' Award Association consists of up
to 156 music critics, writers, musicologists and editors in Germany,
Austria and Switzerland actively involved in the assessment of CDs and
DVDs. Its mission is to provide producers, composers, artists and music
lovers with an honest guide to new releases of true artistic
significance.

Our congratulations to Vijay Iyer, Stephan Crump and Marcus Gilmore!
