In medieval times, alchemy was a mystical pursuit based on a belief that gold could be created from common raw materials. It’s an ancient practice, an idea that has long since been debunked by centuries of scientific evidence to the contrary.
Or has it? Attempts to derive precious substances from lead or tin may have been dismissed by modern-day science as a fool’s errand, but the belief that something of great value can come from something common persists. For drummer Stanton Moore, it’s just a matter of finding the right groove.
Born and raised in New Orleans, Stanton Moore is a dedicated drummer and performer especially connected to the city, its culture and collaborative spirit. Driven and inspired by the thriving music scene of his hometown which includes such greats as Professor Longhair, Doctor John and The Meters, Moore’s name is now mentioned amongst these Big Easy mainstays.
In the early ’90s, Moore helped found the New Orleans-based essential funk band Galactic, he played with metal legends Corrosion of Conformity and the New Orleans Klezmer Allstars, with his trio Garage A Trois and – alongside Trombone Shorty, Big Sam ao – in the brass band Midnight Disturbers. His latest album "Groove Alchemy" was released on Telarc Records in 2010.
