Your Life Flashes is the debut album by Fieldwork, a collective trio consisting of Aaron Stewart on tenor saxophone, Vijay Iyer on piano, and Elliot Humberto Kavee on drums, which was recorded in 2002 and released on Pi Recordings.

[1] In his review for AllMusic, David R. Adler states, "Like much of what Iyer creates under his own name, this music has the distinction of being toe-tappingly accessible and yet, on a technical level, nearly incomprehensible.

"[2] The JazzTimes review by Aaron Steinberg suggests, "Fieldwork's musicians have absorbed the highly rhythmic, dryly funky style that came out of the M-Base school and have adapted it to a cutting modern acoustic jazz setting.

What sets Fieldwork apart, however, is the trio’s fervent and unwavering embrace of rhythm and attack.

"[5] The All About Jazz review by Dan McLenaghan states, "Your Life Flashes sounds foreign and familiar and avant-garde and mainstream all at the same time.
