“Thereupon” Out Now & Fieldwork Live in Brooklyn September 19th @ Roulette
The return of Fieldwork, Steve Lehman, Vijay Iyer and Tyshawn Sorey. The trio’s first release since 2008. Thereupon is available now and the trio will celebrate its release at Roulette, in Brooklyn, September 19th.
“Notice what sounds like a custom tuning for Iyer’s piano, and consider all of the ways you could parse “difference” in the musical vision that this ensemble pursues. No surprise that Thereupon, which dropped today, is for me a strong contender for one of the standout releases of 2025.” – The Gig, Nate Chinen
“Twenty years ago, when the saxophonist Steve Lehman, the pianist Vijay Iyer and the drummer Tyshawn Sorey came together in the collective trio Fieldwork, all three were rising stars; now, they’re each firmly established as generational leaders in progressive jazz and beyond.” – The New York Times, Hank Shteamer
“Fieldwork is fully engaging. There are no limits to the imagination of this trio. Most listeners will want to replay Thereupon several times. If doing so, concentrate on a different member of the trio each time; you are bound to find something fascinating.” – Post Genre Media, Jim Hynes
“Though ideas explode with every note transmitted to the arrangements, the secret is not the musicians’ ability to play – it’s their mutual respect. Iyer, Lehman, and Sorey listen to each other, responding to a fractured riff, a jittering pulse, or a spine-snapping time signature with support, whether that means following the prompt or responding in kind – whatever it takes to get the best performances out of each other. That kind of interaction comes only from an earned trust and a deep musical bond, both honed over relationships going back over twenty years. That chemistry makes Thereupon a truly extraordinary album.” – Big Takeover, Michael Toland
