Perhaps few jazz musicians are as free as Tyshawn Sorey, capable of the most surprising explorations of timbre and space and the most experimental and contemporary projects, while leading one of today’s most balanced piano, bass and drums trios. Sorey, whose origins are very humble, and whose father bought him a drum kit on condition that he would play it “at all hours,” has joined the list of musicians exploring the American jazz songbook. He transforms what could be yet another series of obvious numbers, heard a thousand times before, into an exciting journey through themes that sound new in the hands of the trio, fluid and simple, but rich in complexity.
