New album from Tyshawn Sorey w/his trio called "Verisimilitude" out today (I think). And as I'm listening earlier, I run across this article from NYT:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/02/arts/music/tyshawn-sorey-verisimilitude-interview.html

I've only just started listening to his work over the past few months - I'd been digging his 2016 record, "The Inner Spectrum of Variables," and knew of him through some other acts (Iyer, Lehmann), but knew very little about him. He definitely sits in that sweet spot of composition informed by the best of 20th c. art music and avant garde ish ---- the NYT article mentions Morton Feldman, who I literally thought of while on the tune "obsidian" today...

Anyhow, really enjoyed my first listen and makes me want to dig into Sorey even further.
