It’s kind of amazing what Chris Thile has done with his public radio show, Live from Here, creating a new showcase for performers in a way that only public radio can while keeping his sprightly visage on this new form. In a particularly clever idea, Thile had pianist Vijay Iyer on the show this past week and he came with a collection of songs in his varied repertoire that never fail to please. Alongside bassist Nick Dunston and drummer Jeremy Dutton, watch Iyer play a collection of songs from Break Stuff and Far From Over below.
