MacArthur Fellow Jason Moran is one of the most original voices in contemporary jazz, celebrated for performances that connect music, history and storytelling. In The Music of Duke Ellington: My Heart Sings, Moran embarks on what he describes as a solo ascent of “Mount Ellington”, exploring the extraordinary breadth and lasting influence of one of America’s greatest composers. Rather than recreating familiar performances, Moran reimagines Ellington’s music through his own distinctive artistic voice, revealing fresh perspectives while remaining deeply connected to the original spirit of the works.
Combining virtuoso pianism with imagination and historical insight, Moran uncovers the elegance, swing and emotional depth that continue to make Ellington’s music timeless. Each performance is unique, balancing reverence with invention as Moran demonstrates how this remarkable catalogue remains a living source of inspiration for today’s musicians and audiences alike. My Heart Sings is both a tribute to a jazz giant and a compelling reminder that great music continues to evolve with every new generation.
