Fifteen

A landmark meeting of three visionary forces in contemporary jazz. Fifteen marks the long‑awaited debut recording of the collective trio formed by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer and multi‑reed master Henry Threadgill, acclaimed pianist Vijay Iyer, and rhythmic innovator Dafnis Prieto. After fifteen years of performing together, the group distils its shared language into eight striking compositions that balance structural daring with improvisational fire.

Threadgill's angular, exploratory writing, Iyer's harmonic and textural intelligence, and Prieto's multidimensional rhythmic imagination intertwine with remarkable clarity. Recorded at Oktaven Audio in late 2025, Fifteen captures the trio's rare chemistry with vivid detail and dynamic range.

A major release for modern jazz listeners - bold, intricate, and beautifully cohesive.
