Jason Moran All Rise: A Joyful Elegy for Fats Waller 180g LP (Vinyl)

180g Vinyl LP from Blue Note Features Recast Jazz Music by Fats Waller!

2015 Grammy Award Nominee for:
• Best Jazz Instrumental Album

Acclaimed pianist Jason Moran releases All Rise: A Joyful Elegy for Fats Waller. This collaboration with the vocalist Meshel Ndegeocello recasts the music of the legendary jazz entertainer Fats Waller as a modern dance party. The album, produced by Ndegeocello and Blue Note Records president Don Was, is the 9th in a formidable catalog that Moran has been building on Blue Note since 1999.

All Rise features Moran hosting a changeable cast of musicians that includes vocalist Ndegeocello and Lisa E. Harris, his longtime trio The Bandwagon featuring bassist Tarus Mateen and drummer Nasheet Waits, a funky horn-inflected ensemble anchored by drummer Charles Haynes that features trumpeter Leron Thomas and trombonist Josh Roseman, plus guest saxophonist Steve Lehman. The album was recorded and mixed by Bob Power, known for honing the sound on classic hip hop records by A Tribe Called Quest, Common and The Roots.

"...the end result is a marvelous tribute that still retains its own shape and coherency." -Steve Leggett, allmusic.com
