爵士乐钢琴家, 作曲家, 和 artist 杰森·莫兰 was born in Houston in 1975 和 earned a degree from the Manhattan School of 音乐, where he studied with Jaki Byard. He was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2010, is the artistic director for jazz at the Kennedy Center, 和 teaches at the New Engl和 Conservatory. Moran is deeply invested in reassessing 和 complicating the relationship between music 和 language, 和 his extensive efforts in composition, 即兴创作, 和 performance are all geared towards challenging the status quo. His activity stretches beyond 15 solo recordings 和 performances with masters of the form including Charles Lloyd, 卡桑德拉威尔逊, 和 the late Sam Rivers. His 21-year relationship with his trio the B和wagon (with drummer Nasheet Waits 和 bassist Tarus Mateen) has resulted in a profound discography for Blue Note Records 和 Yes Records, a label he co-owns with his wife, singer 和 作曲家 Alicia Hall Moran. Moran has collaborated with major art world figures such as Adrian Piper, 琼·乔纳斯, 格伦利贡, 亚当·彭德尔顿, 洛娜·辛普森, 和 Kara Walker; he has composed five scores for choreographer Alonzo King's Lines Ballet Company 和 two for Ronald K. Brown's Evidence 跳舞 Company. His longst和ing collaborative practice with Alicia Hall Moran is groundbreaking; as named artists in the 2012 Whitney Biennial, 他们建造的 流血, a five-day series of performances stretching from readings to wellness to a ring shouts. 流血 explored the power of performance to cross barriers 和 challenge assumptions. In 2015, they participated in the Venice Biennnial curated by the late Okwui Enwezor.  Recently they created Two Wings: The 音乐 of Black America in Migration  for Carnegie Hall's Stern Auditorium. Moran keeps a close relationship with history 和 activism, culminating in his work with film director Ava DuVernay on 塞尔玛 和 13th.  His multimedia tributes to Thelonious Monk, 胖子沃勒, 和 James Reese Europe have shifted the jazz paradigm. Also a visual artist, Moran’s solo museum exhibition debuted at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. The exhibition pulled together his artwork 和 that of his collaborators, including  installations he creates about jazz clubs of a bygone era. The exhibition traveled to four museums, ending at the Whitney in New York.
