Per James P. Johnson essere «modernistic» significava essenzialmente – con simbolo musicale comune nel jazz degli anni Venti – la scala a toni interi (nelle seconde minori che ricorrono nel terzo tema di questo pezzo, qualcuno ha voluto sentire una prefigurazione del pianismo di Thelonious Monk, che citava JPJ fra i suoi preferitii).
Jason Moran, nato nel 1975, di essere «modernistic» non ha invece nessun dovere né obbligo: suona James P. Johnson come, più avanti nello stesso disco, il Lied di Schumann Auf Einer Burg e Planet Rock di Afrika Bambaataa.
