Jason Moran: Jazz Musician in New York

About Jason Moran

Jason Moran is an American pianist, composer, and educator whose work moves between jazz and contemporary classical language. In New York City he appears at venues such as Town Hall and Roulette, including Japan Society and The Town Hall’s Murakami Mixtape and Long Play Festival programs with Blank For.ms alongside drummer Marcus Gilmore. His projects often extend beyond the bandstand into staged and multimedia formats, treating performance as a kind of installation. The playing favors inquiry over display, with space and structure doing as much work as virtuosity.
