Ethan Iverson is a powerful force. I heard him once say something like “By day I study jazz traditions, and by night, with the Bad Plus, I reject them.” Here he is solidifying his cred on the first count with an unbelievable flurry of posts on Lester Young who was born 100 years ago this week. Here you have “A Beginner’s Guide to the Master Takes,” “Miles Davis and Lester Young,” and piano transcriptions of famous Pres solos!! All in all, 10 monumental articles.
