Ethan Iverson live in New York

Experience Ethan Iverson live on September 5th

Ethan Iverson will be performing at Birdland Marina in New York City on September 5, 2026. Iverson is a pianist and composer known for his work spanning jazz, classical, and contemporary improvisation. He gained prominence as a founding member of the critically acclaimed jazz trio The Bad Plus, characterized by its deconstructed interpretations of popular music alongside original compositions. His solo work often features thoughtful arrangements, incorporating elements of stride piano tradition with modern harmonic sensibilities and a strong emphasis on melodic development. He is also a prolific blogger and writer on musical topics.

Birdland Marina is a relatively new venue established in 2024, situated within the Chelsea Piers complex along the Hudson River. It aims to recreate the atmosphere of the legendary Birdland jazz club that operated in Manhattan from 1949 to 1965 – a pivotal location in jazz history hosting performances by Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane. While not directly affiliated with the original Birdland’s ownership or historical structure, the Marina venue intends to honor its namesake through programming focused on high-quality jazz and related genres within an intimate setting designed to evoke a classic club feel.
