JASON MORAN – In My Mind: Monk at Town Hall 1959
coproduction Philharmonie-Lcto
Since his formidable emergence on the music scene in the late 90s, jazz pianist Jason Moran has proven more than his brilliance as a performer. The Blue Note Records recording artist has established himself as a risk-taker and innovator of new directions for jazz as a whole. In almost every category that matters – improvisation, composition, group concept, repertoire, technique and experimentation – Moran, and his group The Bandwagon – with bassist Tarus Mateen and drummer Nasheet Waits – have challenged the status quo, and earned the reputation as “the future of jazz.” Moran’s most recent release, ”Ten” (june 2010), celebrates his 10th anniversary with The Bandwagon. The trailblazing trio has proven to be one of the most enduring and creative piano trios in jazz today. ”Ten” represents their most assured and focused album to date. With ”Ten” he scored a triple-crown victory in the 59th Annual DownBeat Critics Poll, winning honors for Jazz Artist of the Year, Jazz Album of the Year and Pianist of the Year. In 2007, Moran was commissioned to create ”In My Mind: Monk at Town Hall 1959”, the critically-acclaimed multi-media performance investigating Thelonious Monk’s famous recording, Monk at Town Hall. ”In My Mind” examines Monk’s process of creating this seminal concert using audio of conversations with Monk and the arranger Hal Overton. Not surprising, the legendary Monk had a pivotal role in influencing young Moran to become a jazz musician. In 1981, at the age of six, the Houston native began studying the classical piano, but longed to quit until he first heard the sounds of Monk, an experience that established an early role model in Moran’s creative development.
