Pianist Ethan Iverson is an accomplished improviser who also respects tunes. And jazz purists be damned, he's gleefully unafraid of pop music. With his former trio, The Bad Plus, Iverson alternately shocked or delighted audiences with covers of Nirvana and the Pixies. On Technically Acceptable he wades into even deeper waters by contrasting a classical music structure with jazz standards, and with more pop songs done his way.

Iverson recorded with two different rhythm sections. Bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Kush Abadey support Iverson's ambitious three-part "Piano Sonata," (reputedly the first ever sonata in the immense Blue Note catalog). There’s a focused determination to prove a work called "Piano Sonata" need not sound stuffy and formal. He imbues the work with flashes of James P. Johnson barrelhouse piano, the romantic sweep of Aaron Copeland, lots of half-quotes from the pop songbook and a lively, overarching sense of fun. (The way Iverson crashes lines with pounded chords in the Rondo is hilarious.)

With a second trio of bassist Simón Wilson and drummer Vinnie Sperrazza, Iverson also puts his personal stamp on popular music by lingering over a cover of Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly With His Song." He seems ripe to score a film as demonstrated in dramatic, often kinetic changes in the short and aptly named "Conundrum." Opening with a march beat but containing a number of rhythm changes along the way, "It's Fine to Decline" (with Morgan and Abadey) is a broad canvas for Iverson to scamper across. And a remake of Thelonious Monk's "'Round Midnight"—with Rob Schwimmer's extraordinary theremin performance mimicking a female voice—demonstrates his creativity again in spectacular fashion.
