Accelerando is a studio album by Indian-American pianist Vijay Iyer recorded in 2011 and released on the ACT label in 2012.
The album received universal acclaim with Metacritic giving it a score of 88 from 9 reviews. Thom Jurek, in his review for AllMusic states, "Accelerando is a triumph in creativity and expert musicianship, and further underscores Iyer's status as a genuine jazz innovator". Writing for All About Jazz, Troy Collins said "Accelerando is a masterful collection that balances high-minded conceptualism with heartfelt conviction". The Guardian review by John Fordham awarded the album 4 stars noting "The world's full of fine jazz piano trios, but Iyer's is way up the A-list". PopMatters editor John Garratt said "Accelerando is an album filled with highlights... There is a reason Vijay Iyer keeps popping up on year-end best-of lists; it’s because he synthesizes such disparate styles, some easily palatable and some requiring more effort, into a striking vision of his own".
