#FlashbackFriday to a night that could only happen on our stage—an evening where time stood still. ✨
In an incomparable solo piano performance, thejasonmoran summoned the spirit of Duke Ellington’s masterworks, filling the air with elegance, rhythm, and reverence. With each key, he conjured the bold, timeless genius of Ellington, reimagining his legendary compositions with a depth that only he could deliver. 🎶
Gordon Parks’ iconic imagery towered above him on stage—floor-to-ceiling projections that stood as a powerful testament to Black life and legacy.
