Blindfold Test: Ethan Iverson
hosted by Ashley Kahn
in collaboration con DownBeat
Music critic and journalist Ashley Kahn – one of the greatest writers of contemporary jazz literature – will subject Ethan Iverson to a Blindfold Test. Leonard Feather invented these tests for the historic magazine DownBeat more than sixty years ago.
A musician listens to songs and has to guess the author. In any case, the test is an exchange of views that often results in an in-depth analysis of music and the artist. It’s not a sort of TV quiz show but a reasoned examination of a musician, a genre, a song.
The Blindfold Test is an exciting opportunity for knowledge for jazz lovers, also for the level of the interviewer and the artist involved.
