This item above is Jason Moran and the Bandwagon performing "RFK In The Land Of Apartheid" in NPR's Studio 4A. As you can see, they are very good at music.
Elsewhere on NPR Music, you can watch the trio take on Bert Williams' delightfully dark "Nobody," and also hear their fracture-and-reassemble version of Thelonious Monk's "Crepuscule With Nellie." Those are our studio recordings of tunes heard on their new album, Ten. But first, you'll also want to listen to Walter Ray Watson's profile of Jason Moran, which aired this morning on Weekend Edition Saturday. This is all at this link I'm about to give you. Ready?
