- Abstract
The first was organized by and featured the brilliantly gifted pianist Jason Moran, paying tribute to the WWI-era pre-jazz composer and band leader James Reese Europe. Moran was introduced to this early influencer by formidable pianist Randy Weston, who described Europe as a key figure in the development of Black music. They were followed by the Captain Black Big Band, led by pianist Orrin Evans, who strayed well beyond the usual festival purview, and featured vocalists Bilal and Lisa Fischer performing beautifully interpolated takes on "Kooks" by David Bowie and "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac, respectively.
