Editor's info:
NY drummer Sean Noonan describes his Brewed by Noon project as “tribal rhythms by an Irish griot” and adds “My goal is to adapt folklore in a modern jazz context, merging storytelling and folk music from bardic and griot traditions.” The basic concept isn’t particularly novel in jazz: what happens when “wandering” folk melodies and grooves from different cultures are communally re-created through improvisation. But the ingredients, the brewing methods, and the spirit of the resulting music, are indeed different.
Start with Sean’s background: Irish Bostonian, Berklee College graduate, co-founder of The Hub, a trio whose punk-jazz has gained a particular following in Europe. A car wreck while touring Italy in 2003 nearly cost him his life and broke both legs: several operations over a period of two years, wheelchair-bound for periods of months, had to learn to do everything physical again, but already back playing the drums as soon as he could move his legs even a bit. As he recuperated he began developing a new project that would blend jazz-punk with west African folk music, and got together again with Senegalese bassist Thierno Camara, an old friend in whose Waaw Band he’d performed years before, to write some new tunes. The first Brewed by Noon album was released independently in 2005, a quartet featuring guitarist friends Aram Bajakian and Jon Madof. He expanded the range of possibilities for this second record by seeking out new collaborators and brilliant downtown jazzers Marc Ribot and Mat Maneri, percussionist Jim Pugliese (one of his teachers), then Malian vocalist Abdoulaye Diabaté (a griot or hereditary praise singer whose mother tongue is Bambara. younger brother of griot Kasse Mady Diabaté and member of Peter Apfelbaum & the NY Hieroglyphics), as well as Irish gaelic folk/rock singer Susan McKeown and classical and soul vocalist Dawn Padmore (herself of Liberian parentage)........
