THE NOONAN TRIO
Sean Noonan (Vocals and Drums)
Matthew Bourne (Keyboards)
Mick Bardon (Double Bass)
Maverick science meets its match with The Noonan Trio’s first album, Inherit a Memory. The combo explores the outer boundaries of musical radicalism, speculatively blending new music, free improvisation, and rhythmic storytelling.
The Noonan Trio features Sean Noonan on drums and vocals, Matthew Bourne, awarded "Jazz Innovation" at the BBC Radio Jazz Awards and hailed as "the future sound of jazz" and an "unpredictable pianist,", and double bassist Michael Bardon (Zappanation Rock Opera), forming a trio with undeniable chemistry throughout the album.
Sean Noonan is a celebrated N.Y. speaking drummer and composer based in London whose innovative music defies categorization. As a "rhythmic storyteller," he crafts imaginative narratives akin to modern-day sonic griots, seamlessly blending ancient traditions of wandering minstrels with contemporary musical forms.
Modern Drummer Magazine highlights Noonan’s independent spirit: "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 drumming.”
Noonan's rhythmic storytelling evolved through collaborations with artists such as Marc Ribot, Marni Nixon (legendary Hollywood songstress), Malcolm Mooney (singer from CAN), Jamaaladeen Tacuma (bassist for Ornette Coleman), Irish American folk singer Susan McKeown, Malian Griot Abdoulaye Diabaté and the London Symphony Orchestra. These cross-genre compositions explore the ensemble as an extension of a drummer’s limbs, orchestrating rhythmic language derived from the drum kit.
