Jason Moran and the Bandwagon: Milestone
"Jason Moran [is] shaping
up to be the most provocative thinker in current jazz."
—Rolling Stone
From the Flynn Web site:
Masterful jazz pianist-composer Jason Moran comes
to the Flynn with a theatrical, multimedia jazz suite inspired by the work of
conceptual artist Adrian Piper. Moran has transformed Piper’s unique
combination of the personal, political, and theatrical into a highly-charged,
evening length suite that speaks eloquently to his own life as a jazz artist
and black man. Featuring Moran and his trio mates in The Bandwagon—bassist
Tarus Mateen and drummer Nasheet Watts—plus vocalist Alicia Hall Moran and
guitar great Marvin Sewell, Moran’s cross-generational musical dialog with
Piper asks probing questions about self-identity and artistic expression.
Milestone is a thrilling jazz concert of great music, with Moran’s innovative
command of funk, text, and hip-hop splicing added to the mix.
