Jason Moran solo

Jazz icon on piano

Since his formidable emergence in the late 1990s, jazz pianist Jason Moran has more than proven his ingenuity. After ten records with Blue Note Records and a seemingly endless list of collaborations with such names as Wayne Shorter, Dave Holland and Uri Caine, he is known as a risk-taker and innovator for jazz as a whole.

In Ghent, Moran lets his muse loose in a solo recital, traversing the entire jazz continuum and referencing stride, bebop, hip-hop and the avant-garde.

It will be a wondrous tribute to the greats, such as Thelonious Monk, Jaki Byard, Muhal Richard Abrams and Andrew Hill. An intimate evening of piano music, from the mind of a modern master.
