JASON MORAN & THE BANDWAGON

Pianist and composer Jason Moran is an important exponent of the current jazz generation, an innovator that treats music from all directions and periods with equal respect. He played with Cassandra Wilson, Don Byron and Steve Coleman. On his CDs he plays standards by Duke Ellington and his tutor Jaki Byard alongside classical compositions (Ravel, Schumann) and eccentric pop music (Björk, Afrika Bambaataa’s Planet Rock). ‘Moran’s music is sublime fun… This is brainy music aimed at the heart’ (Newsweek).
