Interview: Ethan Iverson

By Kevin Whitehead, eMusic Contributor

Ethan Iverson is a polymath: a jazz pianist equally comfortable playing Cole Porter's "Night and Day" at a cozy club like Smalls and knocking out Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" on a theater stage with the Bad Plus, the hugely influential trio he co-leads with drummer Dave King and bassist Reid Anderson.
