Jason Moran: The Harlem Hellfighters
James Reese Europe and the Absence of Ruin. On New Year’s Day 1918, James Reese Europe arrived in France with the 369th Infantry Regiment, the ‘Harlem Hellfighters’, and the military band carried the spirit of jazz across Europe. A century later, Jason Moran pays tribute to this hero of African-American music, leading his trio, The Bandwagon and a band of young musicians, with visuals from filmmakers John Akomfrah and Bradford Young.
