Wiring (album)

Wiring is an album by Trio 3, a jazz group consisting of saxophonist Oliver Lake, bassist Reggie Workman and drummer Andrew Cyrille, with guest pianist Vijay Iyer.

In the summer of 2013 Lake, Workman, Cyrille invited Vijay Iyer for a week long residency in New York's Jazzclub Birdland, before they recorded this album.

[1] The Down Beat review by Peter Margasak states "Iyer connects with the group in a substantive way; there’s nothing tentative or overly polite, even when they tackle Curtis Clark's soulful 'Chiara', a luminescent ballad stripped of any hollow sentiment.

"[2] The All About Jazz review John Sharpe notes "Iyer becomes an integral part of the outfit, whether stretching out simultaneously with the saxophonist, or comping energetically behind him.

"[5] Irwin Block, writing for Senior Times, commented: "This is fabulous work – music that grows with listening because of its broad palette and subtle impact.
