If you are looking for new ways to think about and hear this music, pay attention to what Jason Moran and Alicia Hall Moran are doing, both separately and together. Consider how Jason looks at the physical culture around the music's past and present, as he did in his show at the Whitney Museum last year; check out Alicia's take on her personal and family history in her theatrical stage shows; explore the topics that they engage with in their sweeping multi-disciplinary performances.
Jason and Alicia came by the studio in March of last year in anticipation of their sold-out performance at Carnegie Hall, Two Wings. Their inspired (and inspiring) topics for Deep Focus? Jaki Byard for Jason and Nina Simone for Alicia. The WKCR archives yielded treasures for both, and Jason and Alicia's insights made the riches even more abundant.
