| New Orleans based jazz funk drummer Stanton Moore was a founding member
| of the ┬"steamroller funk┬" band Galactic in the early 1990s, and has
| dabbled in a variety of progressive jazz projects in the years since.
| His discography includes two solo recordings (All Kooked Out in 1998
| and Flyin’ the Koop in 2001) and a host of collaborative projects,
| including Garage a Trois, a progressive jazz trio with eight-string
| guitarist Charlie Hunter, saxophonist Skerik and vibraphonist Mike
| Dillon. Outre Mer, Garage a Trois’ 2005 release on Telarc, followed a
| consistently polyrhythmic groove, thanks in large part to Moore’s
| broad range. Moore steps out on his own again for the aptly titled III,
| his third solo project. This recording features Robert Walter on organ
| and Will Bernard on guitar, along with a few special guests: Skerik,
| and trombonist Mark Mullins. The album was recorded at the legendary
| Preservation Hall in New Orleans. In the final stretch, Moore pays a
| solemn tribute to his beleaguered hometown with a three-song suite. It
| begins with beautiful rendition of South African pianist/composer
| Abdullah Ibrahim┬Æs ┬"Water from an Ancient Well,┬" followed by a dark
| and ominous rendition of Led Zeppelin┬Æs ┬"When the Levee Breaks,┬" and
| closes with the gentle spiritual, ┬"I Shall Not Be Moved,┬" a track
| that suggests perseverance and resolve.
|
| Indeed, Moore is a survivor – literally and artistically. Despite some
| of his own personal setbacks in the aftermath of Katrina, he continues
| to channel the muse and explore the remote places where jazz, funk,
| soul and various other musical strains merge. III is, among other
| things, a survivor’s tale – a recording that ignores adversity and
| pursues the creative ideal.
