Jason Moran - Modernistic
Only in his mid-20s, Jason Moran has several impressive recordings under his belt. On 2001's Black Stars he was joined by the legendary Sam Rivers, which is a testament to this young pianist-composer's strengths. Inspired by such hard-to-classify predecessors as Andrew Hill, Randy Weston, and Herbie Nichols, Moran has likewise created his own sound, allowing seemingly diverse material to coalesce around his own sensibility. Modernistic is his first truly solo outing, and it finds some of his own material joined by the compositions of Schumann, James P. Johnson, Muhal Richard Abrams, and Afrika Bambaataa (making good on the album's title, Moran does a prepared piano version of the latter's "Planet Rock"). He moves with grace and confidence from miniature atmospheric landscapes ("Gangsterism on Irons" stands somewhere between Copland and Satie) to gleefully fractured post-bop high jinks. Moran is proving himself to be the latest pianist who has recognizable passions for both jazz and classical traditions. --David Greenberger Brand: Moran, Jason. Binding Audio CD.
