Music

Jason Moran is a major figure in contemporary jazz, internationally recognized as a pianist, composer, and advocate for the art form. Trained at the Manhattan School of Music under Jaki Byard, Andrew Hill, and Muhal Richard Abrams, he developed a distinctive voice rooted in jazz tradition and innovation. His 18-year collaboration with Blue Note Records resulted in nine albums widely praised by international critics.

In addition to his solo and ensemble work, Moran has composed music for Ava DuVernay’s films Selma and 13th, as well as for the stage adaptation of Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Between the World and Me. Currently serving as Artistic Director for Jazz at the Kennedy Center, he is also an educator and curator, while remaining a compelling and dynamic presence on stage.

«Moran is demonstrating a continuum in Black music and Black history, an ‘ongoing community narrative,’ to borrow a phrase — and, by extension, American history.» THE ARTS FUSE
