I can't think of anyone I would rather talk to right now than Jason Moran. Here we consider so much about history, and so much about the present moment in our country. The conversation is as deep as it is wide, and along the way Jason considers truth versus passion, promoting the "Freedom Principle", America's unfortunate way of forgetting the past, what happens when innovation becomes rhetoric, what it means for African American musicians to move freely "from the stage to the table", the power dynamic within choosing repertoire, how Thelonious Monk and KRS-1 are similar, coming up in Houston among a generation of jazz innovators, what we still have to learn from Louis Armstrong, and what it means to be the "personal embodiment of your history".
