Traditions reinterpreted.

As a musician, Tyshawn Sorey is an all-round genius: the multi-instrumentalist, conductor and Composer takes no notice of genre boundaries. His music is just as rooted in jazz and hip-hop as it is in classical music and the avantgarde. In his trio, he demonstrates that he is an exceptional drummer accompanied by pianist Aaron Diehl and bassist Harish Raghavan. Their albums contain interpretations of jazz standards, improvisations as well as new compositions.

  • The Tyshawn Sorey Trio performs on piano, double bass and drums in an old industrial setting. The interplay of the musicians (from left to right) Aaron Diehl, Harish Raghavan and Tyshawn Sorey contrasts with the raw atmosphere of the industrial hall.

  • Double bassist Harish Ragshavan plays his instrument with focus. He is wearing a black shirt, his eyes are closed, and he appears deeply immersed in the music. Blurred parts of the industrial hall are visible in the background.
