Jason Moran & The Harlem Hellfighters: James Reese Europe and The Absense of Ruin

Jazz pianist Jason Moran will be joined by a 10-piece ensemble including a rhythm and horn section in a moving tribute to ragtime and jazz pioneer James Reese Europe. Europe commanded the African American WWI Harlem Hellfighters regiment who brought the vibrant new sound of jazz to a war‑torn France. Europe’s distinctly American story unfolds through his music, paired with visuals by Oscar‑nominated cinematographer Bradford Young, creating a poetic meditation on a remarkable hero.
