As soon as the music starts, listeners will be struck by the familiar sense of something experienced before. Was it from a soundtrack of Nouvelle Vague films, or hearing Blue Note records of the sixties such as Andrew Hill with Bobby Hutcherson. Throughout the album there is freshness, new approach, and innovative creation. Moran’s playing is masterful, mature, inventive, and before everything graceful. Lonnie Plaxico sends out warm and strong sounds steadily, while Eric Harland powerfully pushing out pulse in all directions. Greg Osby slithers on the sound jungle. Stefon Harris adds elegant spice on the soundscape. Provided song titles, which implies certain moments of human motion, wouldn’t have any profound meanings for their performances. Solo, duo, trio, quartet, and quintet, Moran selected various pairings of colors for painting abstracts on all movements a human might make in a given day. All players sing the praise of playing jazz music here. JAMO Meets SAMO, inspired by a painting of Jean-Michel Basqiat, is the stand out track for me. The album closes lyrically with a duet with Osby in Root Regression.

I'd recently come across a mention of this disc by Ben Ratliff in the NY Times as the best jazz release of 1999. I was particularly intrigued to discover that Andrew Hill is among Moran's main influences.
Listening to the disc, I think it's an excellent effort, but can't quite bring myself to rate it as highly as Ratliff (my own vote for best jazz disc of 1999, by the way, would have to go to Paul Bley's _Not Two, Not One_). It's a truly beautiful disc, rather cooler in temperature than the Hill influence would suggest. In fact there's perhaps as much Herbie Hancock as Hill in the mix (though the track "Aquanaut" overtly pays tribute to Hill's _Smokestack_ by combining bowed and plucked bass--I assume that unless there's an uncredited extra bassist on the album Lonnie Plaxico has overdubbed the arco). The understatement may appeal more to other listeners than to me; myself, I would like to hear Moran in a more explosive context, say with Ralph Peterson on drums & a more idiosyncratic saxophonist than Osby. There are some pretty stunning moments though: try "Snake Stance" or "Retrograde" for instance. OK, Mr Moran, let's see what your next disc is like....

This c.d. absolutely moves me.The melodies stay with me constantly, and I find something new and wonderful with each listen.Jason, has his own style which is incredibly challenging yet simple.I put this c.d. on and it grooves from start to finish, it goes down like a cold glass of water on a very hot day! As a jazz fan, I get really excited when I hear young guys playing with so much heart and soul. Keep it up Jason, keep bringing great music like this along with Greg Osby, Stefon Harris, Mark Shim you guys give me hope and put a big smile on my face. THANK YOU!

Before listening to Jason play, I was not a jazz fan. He has opened my mind, my ears, and my heart to really appreciate jazz. He is more than talented, he is annointed with a gift. I look forward to what he has coming for us next.
