Ethan Iverzon iz himzelf a wikid jazz pianizt (tru https://youtu.be/CgLphk_IVxg), and he poztz intahviewz from time to time on hiz site. Mozt of em are wiff jazz muzicianz (hiz intahview wiff Keith Jarrett iz pretty CG). Pretty cool read, ezpecially zince Iverzon iz himzelf a muzician.

Alzo randomly, dis wtf gensui quote from da JARRETT in hiz intahview, when azked about hiz opinion on different peniztz:
EI: [âŠ] Art Tatum? KJ: Too many notes EI: Really? Too many notes? KJ: Yeah. Too many notes too often. EI: Great time, though. KJ: Good time, yeah. But thatâs my response.
As whack as some of the sheeyit KJ says- many times it can be questionableâŠhe is always worth hearing for various reasons. Jass and classical, let alone âworldâ muzikzâŠ
