Stanton Moore
Trio :
Born and raised in New Orleans (and living there still, when
he’s not on
the road), Stanton Moore is very much a
product of geography, culture
and creative networking.
In the
early ‘90s, Moore
hooked up with guitarist Jeff Raines,
bassist Robert Mercurio and
keyboardist Rich Vogel and
saxophonist Ben Ellman to form the New
Orleans-based
“steam-roller” funk band known as GALACTIC. After
receiving
his bachelor’s degree in music and business from Loyola
University, Moore and the band made their first record (the
widely
acclaimed Coolin’ Off) and hit the road to do nearly
200 gigs a
year for the first ten years of Galactic’s existence.
The band has since
released five more albums since Coolin’ Off,
and continues to
amass a worldwide audience via recording and
touring globally. Despite Galactic's success as a band, Stanton
continues to play solo dates
throughout the Big Easy as well as
globally with an ever-evolving cast
of musicians: John Scofield;
Karl Denson; George Porter, Jr., and Leo Nocentelli (of the Meters);
Charlie Hunter; Warren Haynes; John Medeski
and
John Wood (of Medeski, Martin and Wood); Donald Harrison Jr.;
Robert
Walter; the New Orleans Klezmer All-Stars;
the Preservation Hall Jazz
Band; Corrosion of Conformity;
and Irma Thomas to name a few.
