about

From an interview with Peter Margasak the following morning.

JM: I stood up to take my jacket off—because I was sweating…

MG: I knew you was ready to get into it now!

JM: I like to be really hot, so I have to overheat for a second to be good.

MG: But you see what that did to me? I'm so used to when we're playing for a possession--when the dancers get up and get ready to go into possession—you get up. You got to lead them. So I said, ‘I got to take my man on a trip right now.’ That's when I said, [in a nasal voice] ‘Jason Moran, Jason Moran!’ I changed my voice up. That's what came out—I didn't have to rehearse that—it just came out. I said, ‘Where the hell did that come from?’ But it came out, man. That's ritual. The people get it. [Folk artist] Sam Amidon was at my solo thing, and he said, ‘When you started with your voice, you sounded like the Appalachian Mountains.’ I can hear that from Appalachia, from stuff I heard in Cuba, from Haiti, from Mississippi—I hear it all in there.
