Today instead of “See and Respond” your challenge is to “Hear and Respond.” Check out this series by Jason Moran for inspiration.
Jason Moran
Pianist and jazz composer, Jason Moran is interested in the cultural and political history of African American music. You can listen to a 7 minute piano piece here. Recently, his musical expressions have spilled into the visual arts.
