Sean Noonan

Born: December 11, 1975

Rhythmic storyteller Sean Noonan composes and conducts with a pair of drum sticks original multi-stylistic American music. 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, which combines the eloquence of an Irish bard, the narrative rhythms of Samuel Beckett, and the raw physicality of a street-smart boxer. An Irish-American drummer with a theatrical bent and a passion for African rhythms, Noonan’s excursions are both geographical, taking him to far-flung corners of the world to study cultural and conceptual traditions as he explores the outer limits of music to soak in harmolodic jazz, bleeding-edge rock or avant-garde classical influences

Vlad Popescu

Born: August 21, 1977

Born in Bucharest on August 21st, 1977, Vlad Popescu took profit of a proper family environment, his father and his mother being instrumentalists, and thus approaching the world of sounds at the early age of 6, as a piano student at the Bucharest Music School number 2 (198-1984) and Music School number 5 (1984--1988). Still at the “Dinu Lipatti” high School (1988-1996) and the National Music University (1996-2001) Vlad Popescu assiduously studied the percussion instruments. His interpretative experience took shape as far back as in 1992, when he started to co-operate (uninterruptedly until today) with the Radio Big Band

Stanton Moore

Born: July 9, 1972

Over the course of his 20-year career, drummer Stanton Moore has become known as one of the premier funk musicians of his generation. On his latest album, Conversations, he moves in a slightly different direction, returning to his roots while reinventing his trademark sound. The result is a lively and combustible jazz piano trio outing that reveals unexpected new dimensions to Moore's always-engaging virtuosity. Anyone who's ever heard the interplay between the drummer and his band-mates in the Stanton Moore Trio, Galactic, Garage a Trois or Dragon Smoke is no doubt aware of his intense improvisational chops

Patrick D. Wright

Born: December 27, 1950

Studied music as a Percussion Major at the University of Northern Iowa. Toured with the Bruce Young Orchestra, Antelope Valley Jazz Ensemble, my own trio. I am a bop player with the technique to play soft and fast if necessary. My jazz predisposition influences other styles I play, such as World Music, Rock, Funk, Blues, Fusion, etc. I want to work, and make the music feel good for the other players. I bring a lot of musical experience to the table, and would be an asset to a group of serious players who want to create unique jazz events. I am an unknown in the Southern California jazz scene except for here in the Antelope Valley, where I live. I'd like that to change.
