JASON MORAN & THE BAND WAGON

Jason Moran-piano, Tarus Mateen-bass, Nasheet Waits-drums

Jason Moran is one of the most important and innovative pianists of his generation. He has played with Don Byron, Steve Coleman and Cassandra Wilson. On his exciting and accessible CDs for Blue Note he plays his own songs and classics by Duke Ellington, his tutor Jaki Byard and Afrika Bambaataa (Planet Rock), alongside European compositions by Schumann, Ravel and Björk. ‘Moran’s music is sublime fun… This is brainy music aimed at the heart’ (Newsweek).
