Pianist and composer Jason Moran is a risk-taker and trendsetter who has become “the most provocative thinker in current jazz” (Rolling Stone). His incomparable talent and unyielding drive for innovation have earned him a prestigious MacArthur “Genius Grant” Fellowship and the title of Kennedy Center Artistic Director for Jazz. In his first UGA Presents appearance, he is guided by Duke Ellington’s great canon in an extraordinary celebration of the composer’s enduring legacy 125 years after his birth. In both a solo set and a collaboration with the UGA Jazz Ensemble, Moran reveals the timeless genius of Ellington’s music in this brilliant reimagination of his work.
