Jason Moran's Bandwagon Packs Kennedy Center
by Franz A. Matzner
The year separating their debut at the Kennedy Center Jazz Club and last week's performance has been a good one for Jason Moran and his Bandwagon trio. The success of their album Live at the Village Vanguard secured Moran's standing as one of jazz's ascending stars, and the follow-up quartet release Same Mother has served to ...
Jason Moran: Same Mother
by Mark Sabbatini
Jason Moran is among a handful of modern pianists whose work often demands a listen as soon as it's released, since most other players will be trying to imitate it tomorrow. He doesn't quite meet those expectations on Same Mother, an album heavy on blues and soundtrack elements that represents his sixth project as a leader. ...
Jason Moran: Same Mother
by John Kelman
Contrary to popular opinion, the blues transcends structured musical form. Rather, it is a feeling that imbues, a deep and dark sense of despair that pervades. Regardless of the context, there was always something distinctly blue about the way Miles Davis approached every phrase. Similarly, while his music in no way relates to conventional blues form, ...
Jason Moran: Same Mother
by Mark F. Turner
Jason Moran and his Bandwagon (bassist Tarus Mateen, drummer Nasheet Waits, and newcomer guitarist Marvin Sewell) speak the blues in fine jazz form on their new adventure, Same Mother. The title comes from a comment Moran's wife made in a discussion about tap dancer Savion Glover which states “...that jazz movement and blues movement in dance ...
Jason Moran: Same Mother
by AAJ Staff
Jazz and blues have the same mother. They were the first recorded music styles that allowed black people to fully express themselves. And therein lies the heart of Jason Moran's latest album. Same Mother is a re-examination of the blues, not so much of its formal or harmonic elements, but rather its emotional and aesthetic constituents. ...
Jason Moran: Same Mother
by Jim Santella

Thus, with his sixth Blue Note release, he's able to prove to the world once and for all that ...

Jason Moran: The Bandwagon
by Mark F. Turner
This is not your typical Bandwagon... Jason Moran's Bandwagon forges a path of individuality that is in stark contrast to typical jazz piano trios. The artist is well known for his prodigious talent and his much-earned respect for being both unconventional and progressive in his approach. The new release is not an exception. While the true ...
Jason Moran: The Bandwagon
by Rex Butters
For his fifth Blue Note album, Jason Moran continues to build creative momentum. Once again, Moran stands as a conduit for a wide range of musical sources, from blues to classical to hip-hop to the Great American Songbook, often within the same song. His seemingly limitless vocabulary finds sympathetic support from two longtime collaborators, bassist Tarus ...
