Einsteins Piano: Ethan Iverson "Into the Dark"

In the organizer's words:

Pianist, composer and writer Ethan Iverson was a founding member of The Bad Plus, a seminal collective with Reid Anderson and David King. The New York Times called TBP "better than anyone when it comes to merging the sensibilities of post-'60s jazz and indie rock".

Now Ethan Iverson presents himself with a solo program: Into the Dark.

Iverson has long been interested in film noir, mysterious science fiction and other dark cinematic genres. He began his journey into the dark back in his days as a member of The Bad Plus. "Many of these compositions were created back then as 'soundtracks' for short stories," says Iverson about the basis of the new program. For this one, he weaves a fascinating web of his own compositions and his interpretations of well-known dark themes from cinema and television: Twin Peaks, Laura, Vertigo, Chinatown and others.

Although the program begins with the prelude "Into the Dark", it also ends optimistically with the new work "Into the Light" - thus releasing his audience back into their everyday lives with all their dark corners and worries. But in the hope that these will no longer seem so dark.
