Pianist Vijay Iyer, bassist Linda May Han Oh, and drummer Tyshawn Sorey recorded their debut, Uneasy, shortly before the pandemic hit the United States, receiving critical acclaim upon its release in 2021.

Iyer wrote all of the material except for Stevie Wonder’s “Overjoyed,” Roscoe Mitchell’s “Nonaah,” and one other track. Sorey is a lauded composer, and Oh’s releases as a leader feature her fine compositions, but the pair’s extraordinary improvisatory and interpretive skills are what’s on display here.

Prelude to Ecstasy is a pendulum which swings between the extremes of human emotion, from the ecstasy of passion to the sublimity of pain, and it is this concept which binds our album together. This is an archeology of ourselves; you can exhume our collective and individual experiences and influences from within its fabric. We exorcised guitars for their solos, laid bare confessions directly from diary pages, and summoned an orchestra to bring our vision to life. It is our greatest honour and pride to present this offering to the world, it is everything we are.
