Defiant Life

Description

Originally scheduled for release on March 21st Defiant Life, the second album from Vijay Iyer and Wadada Leo Smith, explores the human condition through a profound musical dialogue between piano, Fender Rhodes, and trumpet. The tracks, blending suffering, resilience, and wonder, oscillate between urgency, blues, doubt, and hope, culminating in the intense beauty of Procession: Defiant Life. A contemplative and metaphysical work on the complexity of life.
