Piper’s metaphor is a theme throughout Moran’s seventh work for Blue Note Records. As with previous works Moran and his brilliant back up group Bandwagon” breaks down the history of jazz music having created the experimental hybrid blues on “Same Mother” and an amazing improvisational effort with flutist Sam Rivers “Black Stars”. n each of those records Moran showed a flair for highly complex rhythms which weaved new frontiers for the genre’s they explored. Artist in Residence is a more subdued effort; with Moran’s minimalist approach sounding similar to Steven Reich in some places and at other times approaching the mad genius of Thelonious Monk in the free jazz composition “RAIN”. Each of the tracks on Artist in Residence was commissioned by art and theatre centers across the country. The result is a record of Moran’s artistic exchanges and encounters with the Art World and a deeper look into the concepts of Piper.
