FOLLOWING MONK:

Celebrating the 90th Anniversary

10/27/2007 - 8 pm, at Page Auditorium

 Duke University, Durham

 In this world-premiere performance, a prodigy pianist, gifted composer, and heir to the Monk tradition, JASON MORAN OCTET, debuts IN MY MIND, a full-length original piece based on Monk’s legendary 1959 Town Hall concert, W. Eugene Smith’s documentary work, and Moran’s 2007 pilgrimage to Monk’s ancestral home in North Carolina. The piece incorporates live performance by an eight-piece ensemble, video projections, and recorded samples of Monk rehearsing his band for the Town Hall performance.  Just 31 years old, Moran has a nimble, unapologetically eclectic piano style that’s already won him awards, critical appreciation, and a reputation as a young genius. It has also earned him comparisons to Monk, whom Moran cites as the reason he started piano in the first place.

  Cost: $19 • $15 • $11 • $5 students
