Jad Posted August 31, 2003 Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 He's coming to town soon and I'd like a chance to familiarize myself with some of his work, what to expect, etc. I don't know much about him, but too many people here rave about him for me to pass up a chance to see him. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted August 31, 2003 Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 Well, I guess his newest would be most reflective of his current work, but I still haven't given it a spin. I would recommend "Modernistic" though, just to isolate him for you. Plus it's a killer disc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted August 31, 2003 Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 "Facing Left" - his 2nd BN release, might be a good place to start. It was his first trio-only disc, and featured some very mature playing and tunes. Although, really, any of Moran's discs are well worth picking up. They're all fantastic in my book. "Black Stars" features the great Sam Rivers, if you like him - perhaps also a good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, Rooster. A post regarding Jason Moran without any exclamation points! You OK to drive, man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jad Posted September 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 Looks like my long halt on buying music ends today! Thanks for the suggestions. I'll post my impressions soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jad Posted September 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Damn! Went to three shops before I found Bandwagon. Along the way found used copies of Back at the Chicken Shack and Caramba, along with Neil Young's Greendale and On The Beach on sale. I can't even go near a record shop now for awhile! The Moran disc sounds pretty good, but I'll have to give it a better listen to before I get more concise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
