Vijay Iyers’s “Tirtha”

Part of Clifford Brown Year Round, this show is presented in partnership with the City of Wilmington’s DuPont Clifford Brown Jazz Festival and the Christina Cultural Arts Center.

The result is a 21st-century, jazz-meets-world music chamber that is eminently listenable and vibrantly alive. The Grand, April 30th 8 p.m.
