Ronald K. Brown / Evidence, A Dance Company, Jason Moran & The Bandwagon
(Arts)
Celebrated choreographer Ronald K. Brown and acclaimed pianist Jason Moran bring together their respective ensembles -- Brown's Evidence, A Dance Company and Moran's Bandwagon jazz trio - in "The Subtle One." Set to a musical suite of the same name, the potent work reflects on the presence of our ancestors and their profound impact on our lives. The Subtle One is paired with selections from Brown's One Shot, based on the life of photographer Charles "Teenie" Harris, who documented the life of one African-American community over a span of 40 years, set to music by Ahmad Jamal and Mary Lou Williams. Opening the evening is Brown's iconic "Grace," a rapturous depiction of a journey to the Promise Land, set to recordings by Duke Ellington, Roy Davis, and Fela Kuti More information...
