| Release: Vijay Iyer on piano |
Presented by Philadelphia Live Arts Festival & Philly Fringe at Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site
September 11, 2010
Live Arts co-presents a concert by jazz composer and pianist Vijay Iyer at Eastern State Penitentiary where he will play within the art installation Release, for which Iyer composed the music. Curated by Julie Courtney, Release is a collaboration between Iyer and filmmaker Bill Morrison who turned newly found archival footage of the 1930 release of the notorious criminal Al Capone into a 12-minute experimental film. As a separate event, Morrison’s film Decasia will be screened at the Penitentiary during the Live Arts Festival. Vijay Iyer’s most recent album Historicity was named #1 Jazz Album of 2009 in the New York Times, NPR, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, and the Village Voice Annual Critics Poll. Bill Morrison’s films and videos have been screened in theaters, museums, and concert halls worldwide, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Sundance Film Festival and Tate Modern.
