The enchanting eponymous suite of the album, which constitutes its central piece, is dedicated to Nasreen Mohamedi (1937-1990), the innovative Indian artist whose improvised imagery evokes distracted rhythms. Trumpet and piano interact here with a creative sensitivity related to sound, texture, and space. Vijay Iyer and Wadada Leo Smith will create A cosmic rhythm with each stroke at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in March 2016 during a major exhibition dedicated to the art and writing of Nasreen Mohamedi. The suite is surrounded by Iyer's composition \"Passage\" and Smith's piece \"Marian Anderson,\" inspired by the great American contralto.","brand":"Vijay Iyer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57732059005272,"sku":null,"price":20160318.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/vijay-iyer_a-cosmic-rhythm-with-each-stroke_2016_uni","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
