About
During one of his monthly teaching residencies at New England Conservatory, pianist/composer/bandleader Jason Moran brings his trio for the New England premiere of In My Mind, an evening-length, multimedia performance that blends live music, video, and recorded samples for an immersion in the life and art of Thelonious Monk, the pianist and American original who inspired Moran's own musical development.
Building on the core musical unit of Jason Moran on piano, Tarus Mateen on bass, and Nasheet Waits on drums, Moran will bring in NEC jazz students as his brass section. Thelonious Monk's legendary 1959 concert in New York's Town Hall is the musical basis for this evening, but it doesn't stop there....
