Event Description:
Known for his incomparable talent and innovative approaches, jazz pianist Jason Moran brilliantly reimagines the timeless music of Duke Ellington in a concert that will make your heart sing. Moran embarks on a solo piano ascent up “Mount Ellington” in an extraordinary celebration of Duke’s enduring legacy on the 125th anniversary of his birth. Moran has established himself as a trendsetter for new directions in jazz. Rolling Stone calls him “the most provocative thinker in current jazz.” It’s that incomparable talent and unyielding drive towards innovation that earned Moran a prestigious MacArthur “Genius Grant” and the title of Kennedy Center Artistic Director for Jazz.
