Sean Noonan’s Brewed by Noon
featuring Alex Marcelo,piano/keyboards, Aram Bajakian, guitar, Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz, electric bassist, and Sean Noonan, electro-acoustic drum set and compositions.
“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
Drummer. composer, and storyteller Sean Noonan will present the newest Brewed by Noon chapter that is a fermentation of Irish-American storytelling improvised on the drum set. Influenced by Irish avant-garde writer Samuel Beckett, Noonan’s New Irish Brew is a collection of high energy Jazz/Punk songs from his Irish roots and beyond.
With a new band that includes Shanir Blumenkranz-bass (John Zorn Zadik Records), Alex Marcelo-piano, (Yusef Lateef), and Aram Bajakian-guitar, (Jamaaladeen Tacuma).
Noonan’s new compositions can be described as grandiose, intoxicating, sui generis, blending passionate Irish-American storytelling, raw power-jamming jazz/rock guitars, shape-shifting improvisations, dense soundscapes, funked and punked up drum and bass grooves.
THE RHYTHMS OF SEAN NOONAN MAKE YOU LONG FOR MORE
“Bruises, a torn eyebrow and blood dripping from your nose: that’s what you are left with once drummer Sean Noonan is finished with you. It feels wonderful. The New Yorker, posing in a ring with robe and gloves on his new cd Boxing Dreams, is a charming exciting type…. he relentlessly knocked out both the audience and his band members.”
