Some nice press coming in. I’m on the cover of the major Italian magazine Musica Jazz. “I love genres” — certainly true.

Ivan Hewett in the Daily Telegraph: "Charming and cheerful, the jazz pianist's new album is nevertheless full of surprises"

Nate Chinen: “Every Note Is True, the new Blue Note debut by Ethan Iverson, rings with a sense of at-homeness — not home itself, per se, but a mix of fondness, familiarity and assurance.” (Happy Valentine’s Day!)

Giovanni Russonello in NY Times: "Bacharach meets Brahms meets John Lewis" — I feel seen!

Christian Carey at Sequenza 21: "An auspicious label debut that demonstrates the imagination, breadth, and wit of Iverson’s playing while maintaining a spirit of enthusiastic collaboration. Highly recommended."

John Garratt at Spectrum Culture: "His tendency to view jazz through a classical or rock lens does nothing to dilute its power."

Tim Niland: "Pianist Ethan Iverson creates an engaging and accessible album in his debut for Blue Note Records"
