Pianisti Jason Moran on 1990-luvun lopulta saakka kuulunut kiinnostavimpien ja luovimpien jazzmuusikoiden kapeaan kärkeen. Historiatietoinen innovaattori on kuljettanut musiikkiaan vuosien varrella yllättäviin suuntiin ja haastanut jazzmusiikin status quota lähes joka osa-alueella.
Manhattan School of Musicin alumni Jason Moran on tehnyt yhteistyötä Blue Note Recordsin kanssa lähes 20 vuoden ja 9 hehkutetun albumin ajan. Myös hänen rajoja rikkova trionsa The Bandwagon (basisti Tarus Mateenin ja rumpali Nashee Waitsin kanssa) on jo kaksikymmentävuotias. Moranin muihin yhteistyökumppaneihin lukeutuvat mm. Cassandra Wilson, Charles Lloyd, edesmennyt Sam Rivers ja monet muut.
Debyyttialbumistaan lähtien Moran on tuottanut neljätoista albumia ja säveltänyt musiikit mm. Ava DuVernayn elokuviin Selma ja 13th. Hän on työskennellyt myös The Kennedy Centerin jazz-osaston taiteellisena johtajana.

Set-up: mainly seated
Pianist Jason Moran has, since the late 1990s, been among the small circle of the most compelling and creative musicians in jazz. A historically aware innovator, Moran has taken his music in surprising directions over the years and challenged the status quo of jazz on nearly every level. At G Livelab, Moran will perform an intimate solo concert.
Jazz pianist, composer, and artist Jason Moran hails from Houston, TX. He’s an alumnus of the Manhattan School of Music where he studied with Jaki Byard. Upon graduation, he studied with Andrew Hill and Muhal Richard Abrams. Moran’s 18-year relationship with Blue Note Records produced 9 highly acclaimed recordings. His groundbreaking trio, The Bandwagon (with bassist Tarus Mateen and drummer Nasheet Waits) is currently celebrating their 20th anniversary. Moran’s performances with Cassandra Wilson, Charles Lloyd, and the late Sam Rivers reveal the scope of Moran’s partnerships and music making. He’s also worked with visual artists Adrian Piper, Joan Jonas, Glenn Ligon, Adam Pendleton, Lorna Simpson, and Kara Walker, Stan Douglas and others. Recent awards and fellowships include the MacArthur Foundation, US Artists, Doris Duke Foundation and Ford Foundation. Moran collaborated with his wife, the mezzo-soprano/composer Alicia Hall Moran, as named artists in the 2012 Whitney Biennial, constructing BLEED, a five-day series of live performances spanning Motown to acupuncture to dance. They also created WORK SONGS for the 2015 Venice Biennial and continue to produce albums for their record label, YES RECORDS.
Since his first album, he has produced fourteen additional albums, created scores for Ava DuVernay’s films Selma and 13th, and author Ta-Nehisi Coates’ staged version of Between the World and Me. History is a recurring theme for Moran, who has mounted monumental touring works for Thelonious Monk (IN MY MIND: Monk at Town Hall 1959), Fats Waller (Fats Waller Dance Party, plus a Grammy-nominated album All Rise: An Elegy for Fats Waller) and James Reese Europe (James Reese Europe and the Absence of Ruin).
In 2018, Moran’s first solo museum exhibition opened at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN, and traveled to ICA/Boston. The exhibition opened at the Whitney Museum of American Art in September 2019. Moran is currently the Artistic Director for Jazz at The Kennedy Center, teaches at New England Conservatory and Jazz Ahead, and curates the Artist’s Studio series for Park Avenue Armory in New York City.
In 2022, he was elected as a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a prestigious recognition that underscores his significant contributions to the arts. In 2023, Moran released the album From The Dance Hall To The Battlefield, a tribute to James Reese Europe, a jazz pioneer and bandleader during World War I.
Beyond his roles in education and curation, Moran has continued to captivate audiences with his dynamic live performances. His multimedia tribute to James Reese Europe, From the Dancehall to the Battlefield, has been described as "a sensory overload" and "a meditation on the life and legacy of James Reese Europe, "highlighting his ability to blend music with visual art to evoke profound emotional responses”.
Moran's innovative approach to live jazz continues to redefine the genre, offering audiences a rich tapestry of sound and emotion that is both intellectually stimulating and profoundly moving.
