Ethan Iverson Quartet with Tom Harrell Common Practice The album is available here: Ethan Iverson: piano Tom Harrell: trumpet Ben Street: double bass Eric McPherson: drums ECM 2643 Release: September 20, 2019 The latest ECM album to feature pianist Ethan Iverson – following last year’s duo recording with saxophonist Mark Turner, Temporary Kings, and two lauded discs with the Billy Hart Quartet – presents the Brooklyn-based artist at the head of his own quartet in a program of standards and blues, recorded live at Manhattan’s famed Village Vanguard.

Iverson extols the quality of poetic “vulnerability” in Harrell’s playing, particularly in such ballads as “The Man I Love” and “Polka Dots and Moonbeams,” two of the album’s highlights. Common Practi
