Jason Moran as the Artist-in-Residence for the 2025 Detroit Jazz Festival

Pianist, composer, and artist Jason Moran has released 18 solo recordings with Blue Note Records and Yes Records. In 2022, he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and was recently awarded the 2023 German Jazz Prize for Pianist of the Year. His latest recording, From the Dancehall to the Battlefield, is devoted to the music of World War I jazz pioneer and organizer James Reese Europe. Moran presented this spectacular multimedia jazz performance during the 2023 Detroit Jazz Festival on the Carhartt Amphitheater Stage.
