We sit down with jazz superstar Vijay Iyer. The Fairport graduate has become, in many minds, one of the most important jazz musicians today. His music is about more than just the instruments; Iyer has merged social awareness and public issues with his diverse skills. We'll talk about the process of creation, and what his hometown jazz festival means to him.
The Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival takes place June 20-28 in various venues in Rochester. WXXI News takes you behind the ropes, with coverage you'll only get from WXXI throughout the event.You can also find coverage on the WXXI webpage.
