HWright Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 (edited) I saw Jason Moran and the Bandwagon at the Kennedy Center. Although Moran and his group played mostly material from the new "Same Mother" album, there was no guitarist with the group. Perhaps to offset this the basist played electric bass, although not having ever seen the group before, I'm not sure if this was unusual in and of itself. I saw the first set in which they played: You've got to be Modernistic (James P. Johnson) Gangsterism on the Rise Aubade [a tune written by JM and Andrew Hill] Ellington Medley (inc. Kinda Dukish, Black and Tan Fantasy and Body and Soul) Jump Up Mixed Medley (inc. an original by the bassist, a Jobim tune and a classical piece) I'll Play the Blues for You (made famous by Albert King) For me the highlight of the show was the Ellington Medley which had a lot of energy and swing.
