This year's Detroit Jazz Festival just announced its first wave of artists they'll be bringing to downtown Detroit this Labor Day weekend. It's the largest free jazz festival in the world, and will feature performances from Keyyon Harrold, John Scofield and many more.
This year's Artist-in-Residence is pianist Jason Moran, who will perform three very different sets over the three-day festival. It's just one aspect of Jason Moran's role this year, which will also include supporting the Detroit Jazz Festival Foundation's educational initiatives and community engagement activities, among other initiatives.
WDET's Ryan Patrick Hooper spoke with Moran about his residency, his musical influences and what he plans to play at jazz fest this summer.
