Celebrate the 125th birthday of a jazz giant as pianist Jason Moran pays electrifying tribute to Duke Ellington—one of the 20th century’s most influential composers, bandleaders, and pianists.
In this extraordinary concert, Moran begins with a solo piano journey through Ellington’s iconic works—his personal ascent up “Mount Ellington”—before being joined onstage by UT’s acclaimed jazz orchestra for a thrilling big band finale. Experience Ellington’s timeless genius, boldly reimagined for a new generation.
Texas native Jason Moran is recognized as one of the nation’s foremost jazz innovators, transforming his personal experiences into compelling musical works that push the boundaries of the genre.
