Pianist-Composer Jason Moran Is Planning to ‘Represent for Detroit’s Techno Music’ at Detroit Jazz Festival 2025
Jason Moran talks his plans for Detroit Jazz Festival 2025, including his goal of representing for Detroit techno.
Last year’s edition drew more than 300,000 in-person attendees, according to organizers, and a worldwide audience of more than two million via the festival’s free livestream on its website and social media platforms. In addition to the techno-jazz mashup, Moran — who’s been on the faculty at the New England Conservatory of Music since 2010 — is planning a celebration of Duke Ellington’s 125th birthday, using a big band of younger musicians. “Jason Moran is a trailblazer in the use of diverse multimedia and theatrical installations to present jazz to audiences in a way that has never been done before,” festival artistic director and CEO Chris Collins said in a statement.
