Jason Moran - Solo Pianette, Piano, Producer
One of jazz's brightest young stars, 27 year old pianist Jason Moran has already built a reputation as a jazz original-so well-versed in the music's history that he uses the tradition to adventurously chart his own singular path.
Jason Moran has recorded three stellar CDs as a leader: Soundtrack to Human Motion, Facing Left and Black Stars, all on Blue Note. For his fourth release, Moran decided to enter the studio sans a support team. The result is a milestone in his career: Modernistic, a solo piano disc that not only offers a variety of concepts and grooves but also pays tribute to piano masters who have influenced him.
Jason Moran recorded 11 tunes, including six originals. He covers material by classical composer Robert Schumann, stride pianist James P. Johnson and AACM elder statesman Muhal Richard Abrams. He also delivers a unique take on the jazz standard "Body and Soul" and parties down on Afrika Bambaata's rap classic "Planet Rock."

Jason Moran's fourth Blue Note album, a highly idiosyncratic solo piano venture, attempts to reconcile a staggeringly diverse set of influences into a cohesive artistic vision. Beginning with stride master James P. Johnson's "You've Got to Be Modernistic," the omnivorous young pianist then takes that title to heart by personalizing everything from Robert Schumann's "Auf Einer Burg" to Muhal Richard Abrams' "Time Into Space Into Time" to Afrika Bambaataa's "Planet Rock." Among the originals are two more chapters in Moran's ongoing "Gangsterism" series, as well as the closing "Gentle Shifts South," one of his simplest, most affecting melodies. Not unlike Brad Mehldau's Largo, which was released around the same time, Modernistic explodes jazz piano conventions by addressing the issue of sound. The prepared piano loops and backwards effects on "Planet Rock," the disarming mini-piano heard on "Moran Tonk Circa 1935," the old-school hip-hop beat that crops up during "Gangsterism on a Lunchtable" -- in these instances and more, Moran burns the rule book and presents something so thoroughly individual as to be practically without precedent. And still it comes across as a statement of love and respect for the jazz piano tradition.

Jason Moran
Active Decades: '90s and '00s
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Post-Bop
Brooklyn resident Jason Moran brings a distinctly artistic touch to his jazz compositions and piano playing. The impressionistic approach of visual and musical artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Maurice Ravel inspire Moran's playing and writing style, on both his own compositions and his work with jazz contemporaries like Cassandra Wilson, Steve Coleman, Greg Osby, and Stefan Harris. Moran's debut album Soundtrack to Human Motion appeared in 1999; Facing Left followed a year later. In 2001 he released Black Stars, which featured his trio, comprised also of bassist Tarus Mateen and drummer Nasheet Waits, joined by saxophone legend Sam Rivers. A year later he took a much different approach on Modernistic, offering an album of solo piano recordings. Since that time, Moran released the live album The Bandwagon in 2003 and Artist In Residence in 2006
