Ethan Iverson on "The Rest Is Noise" in Performance

Re-creating a show they developed for a sold-out performance at the Paris Bar in New York, The New Yorker writer Alex Ross and pianist Ethan Iverson join forces to present a unique exploration of 20th-century music. Ross reads vivid portraits of the 20th-centurys iconic composers from his universally acclaimed and best-selling book, The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century. After each selection, Iverson, the pianist in the postmodern jazz trio The Bad Plus and former musical director of Mark Morris Dance Group, performs a piano interlude related to the reading.
