From Jason Moran Live at the Nyack library, June 15, 2012. a "The first piece was twenty minutes long. It was stunning. I'd never heard anything like it before. I had no idea what "tune" it was or even what genre it was. It wasn't a really a "tune" at all. It was like a trip through an unfamiliar aural city—a city of obscure but careful order and full of ancient and modern architectural vistas, a new neighborhood and a new mood around every corner. The notes cascaded with such complex density that it was hard to believe that only two hands were making them". - The New Yorker, June 26, 2012 All concerts are held on Friday nights at 7:30 pm in the Carnegie-Farian Room at the Nyack Library - 59 South Broadway, Nyack, NY. write your comments about the article :: © 2014 Jazz News :: home page |
