A Fireside Chat With Jason Moran (2002)
by AAJ Staff
I have always liked Jason Moran. If not his killing playing, his uncanny unwillingness to need to be the king of the playground. He is comfortable with his identity and so his approach is clear and ultimately his own. Now, I don't know much, but I have known since Oz's Further Ado, “JaMo" was to be ...
Jason Moran: Modernistic
by Mark F. Turner
Let's just cut to the chase. Jazz pianist Jason Moran has the goods. And more importantly, he has his own set of goods. His voice is unique among an onslaught of talented pianists.

So my approach to Firesides has always been to never be presumptuous enough to interpret the artist's words or offer up context to them. Instead, I have always done ...
Jason Moran: Black Stars
by David Adler
Jason Moran’s third Blue Note release features the Facing Left trio in the company of Sam Rivers, incredibly robust at 77 years of age. It’s an all-acoustic outing this time around — no Fender Rhodes, no Hammond B-3. The presence of Rivers really brings out the fire in Moran and his colleagues, bassist Tarus Mateen and ...

Joined by septuagenarian jazz innovator, Sam Rivers, Moran fuses antecedent genres with his own sensibility to produce an album with a darkly ...
Jason Moran: Black Stars

Jason Moran has hit the mark every time out. The adventurous pianist creates suite-like musical portraits that, in the end, will affect the growth of modern mainstream jazz. For his third album as leader, Moran has enlisted saxophonist Sam Rivers. As like-minded improvisers, the four artists drive with considerable force. What makes it work so well ...
