Porgy and Bess 1944

Technically Acceptable finds Iverson at the helm of two different trios—with bass/drum teams Thomas Morgan/Kush Abadey and Simón Willson/Vinnie Sperrazza— performing a set of new originals plus singular new versions of Roberta Flack's “Killing Me Softly With His Song” and Thelonious Monk's “‘Round Midnight,” the latter featuring Rob Schwimmer.

“Who Are You, Really?” appends a Dexter Gordon quote to a joyously catchy tune that dances around Thomas Morgan's robust bass line and drummer Kush Abadey's assured swing. Iverson will be celebrating the album release at the Village Vanguard in New York City from Jan. 23-28 followed by European and U.S. tours.
