Jason Moran - Ten

Released: 23/08/2010 Blue Note

Jazz pianist Jason Moran leads bass player Tarus Mateen and drummer Nasheet Waits through a typically self-counterpointing set. The trio's embrace of complexity means that even gospel-inspired numbers are delivered with a contemporary, street-smart groove. A recommendable work by one of modern jazz's greatest players.
