Ethan Iverson is a prominent figure in the modern jazz world, renowned for his innovative approach to piano and composition. A multifaceted musician, Iverson made a name for himself as one of the founding members of The Bad Plus, a trailblazing trio that gained critical acclaim for their genre-defying blend of avant-garde jazz with elements of rock and pop. Iverson's tenure with The Bad Plus, which lasted from 2000 to 2017, was marked by his characteristic blend of technical prowess and eclectic musical tastes.

After his departure from The Bad Plus, Iverson dove deeper into his solo career and collaborative projects, showcasing his versatility and deep understanding of jazz history. His solo releases, such as "The Purity of the Turf" and "Temporary Kings," exhibit his skill in creating music that is at once complex and accessible, interweaving the traditional jazz idiom with his own contemporary sensibilities. His more recent works, including "Every Note Is True" and "Who Are You, Really?," continue this trend, marrying his rich harmonic sense with a lyrical and often introspective approach to the piano. Whether performing his own compositions or interpreting the works of jazz legends, Iverson's voice is a unique and influential one in the modern jazz landscape.
