I’m listening to Jason Moran and Christina Zavelloni right now – Youtube video below – and reading a really interesting article on him in Blouin ArtInfo: Jazz Pianist Jason Moran joins Luhring Augustine Gallery.

MoreI shall be trying to make it across to the Howard Griffin Gallery in Shoreditch at some point over the next few weeks to see the Thierry Noir Exhibition, 4 April to 5 May 2014. If you don’t know his work – famously as being the first ‘Berlin Wall’ artist – there are more details […]
