Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on February 11, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Ethan Iverson! May your day be as delightfully unpredictable and refreshingly original as a Bad Plus jazz improvisation. Your fearless creativity has given us countless memorable moments—from reimagining classic rock tunes into avant-garde masterpieces to pushing the boundaries of postmodern jazz with unmatched flair.

Here's hoping this year brings you even more success than that time audiences first realized Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" could swing in ways Kurt Cobain never imagined. Keep dazzling us all by turning musical expectations upside down—just like you've always done so brilliantly. Cheers to another fantastic trip around the sun!
