Jazz composer/pianist Jason Moran returns to the Walker stage for a conversation about Artist-in-Residence (Blue Note), a new release inspired by his 2004 residency at the Walker. Including the recorded voice of performance/visual artist Adrian Piper and percussion by performance/video artist Joan Jonas, this work follows Moran’s trajectory of expanding the territories claimed by jazz. Join Moran and performing arts senior curator Philip Bither for a talk about the process of writing music inspired by visual art, accompanied by some solo pieces from the new recording played live by Moran.
This presentation will be webcast live and archived on the Walker Channel (channel.walkerart.org).
