Same Mother is the sixth album by American pianist and composer Jason Moran which was released on the Blue Note label in 2005.
[3] All About Jazz stated, "Same Mother is a re-examination of the blues, not so much of its formal or harmonic elements, but rather its emotional and aesthetic constituents ...
He brings a wide-ranging, very contemporary perspective to even the oldest materials, including the blues.
[4] In The Guardian, John Fordham wrote "This fierce but idiomatically familiar set augments the superb trio Moran has run since the late 1990s (bassist Tarus Mateen and drummer Nasheet Waits) with guitarist Marvin Sewell, on a repertoire that ransacks the retro and reforges it in the furnace of Moran's imagination".
[5] In JazzTimes, Geoffrey Himes noted "Moran has once again demonstrated how jazz can reinvigorate itself by reaching beyond the usual show tunes and hard-bop rewrites to find new material for improvisation.
