Yuhan Su - vibraphone
Vijay Iyer - piano
Tomas Fujiwara - drums
Vibraphonist and composer Yuhan Su returns to The Jazz Gallery stage for a special performance that bridges the expansive vision of her recent works with the raw intimacy of a trio. This concert serves as a retrospective and reimagining of her 2025 TJG Commission Residency works, including compositions originally written for her duo, trio, and the "American Time" Septet.
By deconstructing these intricate arrangements for a high-wire trio format, Su strips her music to its rhythmic and melodic essence, exploring the architecture of her compositions through a new lens. Joining her are two of the most visionary and influential figures in creative music: pianist Vijay Iyer and drummer Tomas Fujiwara. Together, this powerhouse trio navigates a program that is at once intellectually rigorous and emotionally resonant—a testament to Su's ability to find grace and humor within complexity.
