New music commemorating COVID victims by, among others, the great jazz-into-classical pianist/thinker Vijay Iyer, backed by a truly astonishing assemblage of musicians including this List's beloved Afrofuturist-barely-starts-to-describe-her Moor Mother, Sufi-jazz-rock visionary Arooj Aftab, drummer-who-composes-like-Morton-Feldman Tyshawn Sorey, trumpet phenom Ambrose Akinmusire, and bassist Daryl Johns (who isn't Daryl Jones). And then there's vibes king Joel Ross doing his new piece . . . .
