Info for Live at Smalls

Live at Smalls is a live album by American jazz pianist Ethan Iverson's quartet. The band consisted of Iverson on piano, Reid Anderson on double bass, Jeff Williams on drums, and Bill McHenry on tenor saxophone.

"four contemporary improvisors put away the sheet music and explore the common vernacular of standards and blues. Direct, compositional, spontaneous, and inspired." (freshsoundrecords.com)

"Pianist Ethan Iverson and tenor saxophonist Bill McHenry focus on quirky readings of standards in this co-led band, which they've unofficially named "Sub-Standard." The quartet is completed by bassist Reid Anderson and drummer Jeff Williams, both of whom supply a kind of perpetually off-kilter rhythmic feel underneath the two adventurous soloists. The music's in tempo, but not quite..." (David R. Adler, AMG)
