Cooper-Moore Tickets

Cooper-Moore, born Gene Y. Ashton in 1946 in Virginia, is a pioneering pianist, composer, and inventive instrument builder whose work spans avant-garde jazz, free improvisation, and experimental sound sculpture. Adopting the name Cooper-Moore in 1985, he has become a central figure in the New York and international jazz scenes, known for both his expressive keyboard work and handcrafted instruments such as the ashimba, diddley-bow, and hoe-handle harp. His career threads through collaborations like Triptych Myth, Digital Primitives, William Parker’s In Order to Survive, and the Heart Trio with Parker and Hamid Drake.

The Heart Trio albums released in 2024, including Heart Trio and Heart Trio Flow on AUM Fidelity, showcase his rich compositional language and dynamic improvisational voice.
