He’s playing Kings Place London on Nov 17. I may attend but ticket prices seem steep, at around £30.

I noticed (to my surprise) that he and Conrad Tao performed Morton Feldman's Triadic Memories at the 2023 Bang on a Can Long Play Festival (NYC).

Have you heard the long piano piece 'Permutations For Solo Piano' on 'That/Not'?  Very Feldman-esque to my ears

And Cafe Oto the night after with Pat Thomas.  That's the one I might try and get to

Pillars too in places. It seems like a natural mix.

I told Tyshawn after a show earlier this year I’d love to hear Pillars live. He smiled.

Thanks. Haven't heard these, will definitely seek them out.

Pillars is epic from many perspectives.

SFJAZZ had an open house today and we were allowed backstage to see what it's like. One of the walls is lined with signed drum heads from those who played there

What's happened to Sorry recently?

It feels like his pace has slowed quite a bit and he has moved more towards jazz releases (that don't really move me) and away from his compositional stuff.

He just won a Pulitzer Prize!

Looking at Sorey's own website https://www.tyshawnsorey.com/in-the-news

the recent (last 2 or so years, say) focus seems to be on composition. I don't know enough to comment on whether his pace has slowed.

Wherever / whenever I hear him he's excellent.

Completely agree.

[mjazzg]

Also agree, a significant artist/composer

[AllenLowe]

Tyshawn is a brilliant musician and composer. I am glad he is doing well as he has seemed, in the past, to be a troubled soul, but he is teaching at U Penn, has all kinds of commissions, and, as we see, has just won the Pulitzer.

Hell of a player, hell of a composer. Nice guy in my experience. Congratulations to him!
