Ethan Iverson is a pianist, composer and critic: an authentic music intellectual. Iverson has become famous in the jazz world for being a member of The Bad Plus. The trio had the merit to renovate – Iverson’s contribution was fundamental – the language of the classic piano-double bass-drums formula. Iverson has performed multiple times at Umbria Jazz, in piano solo at the Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria and with Joshua Redman. He has also played with the quartet of cult musician Billy Hart. For Umbria Jazz, Iverson has created interesting projects with the Festival orchestra: the latest one is “Simply Cinematic”, a reinterpretation of film music. Iverson also performs in trio at Umbria Jazz Winter, with Thomas Morgan on double bass and Kush Abadey on drums.
