Description
Jason Moran is shaping up to be one of the most provocative thinkers in current jazz. This publication is the first in-depth exploration of pianist, composer and visual artist Jason Moran's practice, which bridges the fields of visual arts and performing arts. Moran challenges traditional forms of musical composition by merging object and sound, highlighting the theatricality of both mediums. His experimental works push beyond conventions of sculpture and the concert stage while continuing to embrace the essential tenets of jazz and improvisation. This volume features essays by curators, artists, musicians and art historians, plus an interview and photo essay by Moran. The book provides a unique insight into Moran's practice and collaborative works as interdisciplinary investigations that further experimental jazz and visual art. It also includes sections documenting the creation of his mixed-media "set sculptures", offering a deeper understanding of this innovative artist.
