From 1990 — a trio with oud, violin and percussion.

The great drummer with Wadada Leo Smith (who chips in a seventeen-minute tribute to Alice Coltrane) and Bill Frisell.

With Tyshawn Sorey and Linda May Han Oh, exploring Iyer originals, Geri Allen’s Drummer’s Song and Cole Porter’s Night and Day.

His debut, from 1976; emerging from the tutelage of Gary Burton. Lovely, out-in-the-wide-open Americana Jazz, with dazzlingly lithe bass-playing by Jaco Pastorius. Bob Moses nails it, too. It’s never sounded better than in this iteration as part of the Luminessence Series. Hang about for the Ornette cover, wrapping things up.

With Lee Konitz, Bill Frisell, and Dave Holland.
