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.
Noonan’s rhythmic storytelling evolved through collaborations with artists such as Marc Ribot (Tom Wait's guitar-slinger), 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.
Now with The Noonan Trio he is ably assisted by award winning pianist Matthew Bourne (a former visitor to The Puzzle himself) and double bassist Michael Bardon in his quest to explore the outer boundaries of musical radicalism, speculatively blending jazz rock, improvisation, and rhythmic storytelling.
