And that's a wrap, with 2025 Detroit Jazz Festival Artist-in-Residence, pianist Jason Moran. Jason drained every drop from his festival experience, not only playing his own sets, but watching other musicians perform as well. It was a beautiful, fantastic festival, blessed with great performances under a sparkling (but not too hot!) sun. See you next year! | Detroit Jazz Festival
