The closing concert of the festival will be in charge of a trio that has been together since 2000 and is an unavoidable reference in 21st century jazz. The relevance of Jason Moran is such that Scott DeVeaux and Gary Giddins lhe dedicam por completo o último capítulo do livro "Jazz", um dos grandes manuais de History of Jazz. Moran and his Bandwagon draw on almost the entire jazz tradition to make a jazz of today, in which hip-hop and drum & bass emerge as naturally as Billie Holiday, Fats Waller or Duke Ellington. Moran is master of a music in which everything seems to make sense, in which any ingredient, however unexpected, is always very welcome and invariably very well used. A project that closes Funchal Jazz on a very high note and well illustrative of the continuous vitality of jazz today.
