For one night only, in celebration of their new ECM Records release, two master musicians will meet on our stage for two expansive sets of intimate duo improvisations. Pianist, composer, and prose writer Ethan Iverson was a co–founder of The Bad Plus, a game–changing trio that the New York Times called “better than anyone at melding the sensibilities of post-‘60s jazz and indie rock.” Iverson also has been part of drummer Billy Hart’s quartet for well over a decade; in April 2018, Iverson, Hart, and bassist Ron Carter performed some truly memorable music together on our stage. Post–bop tenor saxophonist Mark Turner – whose sound reflects the influences of both John Coltrane and Warne Marsh – has gigged and/or recorded with a host of jazz greats including James Moody, Jimmy Smith, Leon Parker, and Joshua Redman. In 2012, Turner became an ECM recording artist; of his 2017 album Lathe of Heaven, Ben Ratliff wrote in The New York Times: “It’s his best record. It has a group sound, the force of em­bodied unity. It does something that jazz records used to do more: you might hear it, feel there’s really nothing to add, and decide not to listen to records – including this one – for, say, a week.” Ethan Iverson – piano Mark Turner – tenor saxophone ​
