Iyer's comment on the album title, \"Compassion\": \"The anxiety experienced when creating art amidst suffering never disappears, nor should it. That tension shapes the creative process at every stage. The counterpart to that tension, the response to that call, is a rejuvenating sense of making music with people, for people, and among people. I draw endless inspiration from Tyshawn and Linda... We developed this music on stage, in the world, in communities and spaces of encounter.\" His collaborative album with Aluji Aftab and Shazard Ismaily, \"Love In Exile,\" was nominated for two Grammy Awards at the 66th Grammy Awards: Best Alternative Jazz Album and Best Global Music Performance, further increasing his profile. \u003cpersonnel\u003e Vijay Iyer (p) Linda Mae Han Oh (double-b) Tyshawn Sorey (ds) Recorded in May 2022 at Octaven Audio, New York Media Reviews etc. Following his previous album \"Uneasy\" (2021), which was his eighth ECM album and was selected as one of Pitchfork's 50 Best Albums of 2021 and received rave reviews from various media outlets, this is the second album by a talented trio featuring Linda Mae Han Oh (double-b) and Tyshawn Sorey (ds).
