SUMMARY:The Reluctant Astronauts - Sean Noonan\, Johnny Richards and Michael Bardon
DESCRIPTION:Sean Noonan -drums/compositions/storytelling\nJohnny Richards - keyboards\nMichael Bardon - bass\n\nRhythmic storyteller Sean Noonan composes and conducts with a pair of drum sticks original multi-stylistic music.  His “wandering folk” theory captures the elusiveness of ever-evolving world music traditions and reorients them through his own distinctive lens\, fusing his discoveries with influences from harmolodic jazz\, bleeding-edge rock\, and avant-garde classical music. Noonan’s wide-spectrum music combines the loquacity of an Irish bard\, the narrative rhythms of Samuel Beckett\, and the raw physicality of a street-smart boxer.\n\nAn Irish-American drummer with a theatrical bent and a passion for African rhythms\, Noonan’s nomadic muse has led Noonan in a wealth of unexpected directions\, resulting in an explosion of unclassifiable releases and projects spanning more than 20 albums and hundreds of performances in over 15 countries\, in premiere venues and international festivals as EFG London Jazz\, Sant'anna Arresi Jazz Festival\, American Film Festival\, Timezone Festival\, Haldern Pop Festival\, and Jazz Liege to name a few.\n\nThe Trio was formed after the 2016 album release "Memorable Sticks”.  Noonan adopts a magical scepter to dig the depths of the Wieliczka Salt Mine in Poland revealing "Hidden Treasures"\, as if Henry Cowell\, Cecil Taylor\, Frank Zappa and the Grateful Dead were out on a night of romance in quest of a good street fight.  The treasures that he finds along the way are filtered through his distinctive vision to become the unpredictable and far-ranging sounds of Noonan’s wide-spectrum music.\n"Independence might be the ruling concept of this drummer/leader’s career. It defines a common relationship not only among his hands\, feet\, and voice\, but between his art and almost everything else in drumland". Modern Drummer Magazine\n\nNew York Rhythmic Storyteller Sean Noonan composes and conducts with a pair of drum sticks original multi-stylistic modern jazz-rock avant-garde chamber music.  He sees himself as a modern-day sonic griot (storyteller)\, wandering the globe gathering stories\, legends\, and folklore like a punk-jazz Alan Lomax.  Producing over 20 dynamic albums featuring including original singer Malcolm Mooney of CAN\, Abdoulaye Diabaté (West African Griot)\, Marc Ribot\, Jamaaladeen Tacuma\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"The drummer and composer Sean Noonan approaches postmodern jazz and world music from the same angle of self-discovery ....he manages to make his pieces speak coherently\, and in a unified voice." The New York Times\n\nWEBSITE: https://seannoonanmusic.com/about\n\n\n\n[embed]https://youtu.be/OAOpZI5OEPA[/embed]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
