Drummer Nasheet Waits is the man "everyone" wants to play with, but despite this he has prioritized Moran's trio highly. Together with bass-player Tarus Mateen and Moran himself he contributes to a band which Bjørn Stendahl of Jazznytt described as follows: "the musicians break into each other's solo performances ..... unorthodox and defining... and because they know each other so well it is very successful ..... in an energetic and blues-saturated expression".
Moran says that he plays as "wide" as a man with ten fingers can play. he wants a powerful expression, a kind of "large piano sound". The entire jazztradition from ragtime to Cecil Taylor & beyond is a part of Bandwagons musical palette; at times carefully supplemented with sampling etc. Bandwagon is a trio that unites innovation and jazztradition in a rather sovereign way.
