I think the jazz musicians have had less problems than people who feel jazz should be just one thing.
"Ethan Iverson" is a pianist, composer, and critic best known for his work in the postmodern jazz trio The Bad Plus, with bassist Reid Anderson and drummer David King (musician)/Dave King.
Prior to the forming of The Bad Plus, Iverson was the musical director for the Mark Morris (choreographer)/Mark Morris Dance Group and a student of both Fred Hersch and Sophia Rosoff. He has worked with artists such as Billy Hart, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Tim Berne, Mark Turner (musician)/Mark Turner, Ben Street, Lee Konitz, Albert "Tootie" Heath, Paul Motian, Larry Grenadier and Charlie Haden.
Iverson writes about jazz and other subjects at length at his blog, Do The Math.
