Crucial to that balance is their ability to connect with each other almost telepathically.\" Compassion, Iyer's eighth release as a leader for ECM, continues his drive to explore fresh territory while also referencing his forebears along the way, two of them long associated with the label.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album includes a powerful interpretation of Stevie Wonder's \"Overjoyed,\" which Iyer selected as an indirect homage to the late Chick Corea. Another tip of the hat comes with \"Nonaah,\" a whirlwind of a piece by avant-garde sage Roscoe Mitchell, a key mentor for the pianist. Then there are Iyer's own melodically alluring, rhythmically invigorating compositions, ranging from the pensive title track to the hook-laced highlights \"Tempest\" and \"Ghostrumental.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVijay Iyer: piano\u003cbr\u003eLinda May Han Oh: double bass\u003cbr\u003eTyshawn Sorey: drums\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLP Tracks: Compassion \/ Arch \/ Overjoyed \/ Maelstrom \/ Prelude: Orison \/ Tempest \/ Panegyric \/ Nonaah \/ Where I Am \/ Ghostrumental \/ It Goes \/ Free Spirits\/Drummer's Song\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ECM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42902777659548,"sku":"5835143","price":31.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/image001_63f662d8-2000-4210-a2d1-bd0ef948b5f3.jpg?v=1702461526","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/vijay-iyer-linda-may-han-oh-tyshawn-sorey-compassion-lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
