SUMMARY:The Noonan Trio: Inherit a Memory album release
DESCRIPTION:Doors 6:45 PM\, Music 7:30 PM – 1 set(s) of music\n  \nLine-up:\nMatthew Bourne – Piano \nMichael Bardon – Double Bass \nSean Noonan – Drums\, Vocals\, Compositions \n  \nAbout\nMaverick science meets its match with The Noonan Trio’s first album\, Inherit a Memory. The combo explores the outer boundaries of musical radicalism\, speculatively blending new music\, free improvisation\, and rhythmic storytelling. The Noonan Trio features Sean Noonan on drums and vocals\, Matthew Bourne\, awarded “Jazz Innovation” at the BBC Radio Jazz Awards and hailed as “the future sound of jazz” and an “unpredictable pianist\,”\, and double bassist Michael Bardon (Zappanation Rock Opera)\, forming a trio with undeniable chemistry throughout the album.\nSean 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. \nModern Drummer Magazine highlights Noonan’s independent spirit: “Independence might be the ruling concept of this drummer-leader’s career. It defines a common relationship not only among his hands\, feet\, and voice\, but between his art and almost everything else in drumming.” \nNoonan’s rhythmic storytelling evolved through collaborations with artists such as Marc Ribot\, 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. These cross-genre compositions explore the ensemble as an extension of a drummer’s limbs\, orchestrating rhythmic language derived from the drum kit. \n  \nJazz Weekly Review: https://www.jazzweekly.com/2024/09/the-noonan-trio-inherit-a-memory/ \nSample the Music: https://brewedbynoon.bandcamp.com/album/inherit-a-memory

SUMMARY:Petra Haller - ORBIT: The Fierce Urgency of Now
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM – 2 set(s) of music\n  \nFollowing the first live recording session of  ORBIT: On the Wings of Freedom in November 2024\, tap dancer and bandleader Petra Haller returns to the Vortex Jazz Club with the second chapter: ORBIT: The Fierce Urgency of Now. Taking place on May 13th\, this concert will once again be recorded live\, contributing to an upcoming album set for release in late 2025 or early 2026. \nThe recording continues Haller’s fearless journey into collective improvisation—where rhythm\, movement\, music\, and poetry collide in a space that is spontaneous\, raw\, and unrepeatable. \nPetra Haller is a leading force in using tap dance as a percussive voice within contemporary jazz and improvised music. She dissolves the line between dancer and musician\, placing tap at the centre of the ensemble as a driving rhythmic instrument. With a background spanning traditional jazz\, avant-garde\, improvisation\, and interdisciplinary performance\, she has worked with major figures across the UK and Europe. \nShe is joined once again by the formidable Jeffrey Durrant\, one of the most captivating voices in the UK’s improvised music scene. Known for his ability to create meaning in the moment\, Durrant’s spoken word performances are fluid\, urgent\, and deeply responsive to his surroundings. Whether appearing at the Vortex or on international stages like the Gibraltar World Music Festival\, his voice functions as both narrative and instrument—intertwining with sound in an ever-evolving dialogue. \nFor this session\, they are joined by two extraordinary improvisers: John Bisset on lap steel guitar and Julia Brüssel on violin. \nJohn Bisset is a London-based musician and visual artist whose work ranges from songmaking to free improvisation. Known for his unconventional approach to the lap steel guitar—using preparations and extended techniques—Bisset creates textural\, abstract soundscapes that dissolve the boundary between instrument and atmosphere. His collaborations include projects with Jim Finer\, Alex Ward\, Burkhard Beins\, and Ivor Kallin\, and his curatorial work includes the legendary 2.13 Club and The Pool. \nJulia Brüssel\, a violinist\, improviser\, and composer\, brings a rich palette of influences to the group\, from jazz and classical to electronic and folklore traditions. A key figure in ensembles like Liasemble\, Hilde\, and the Ghanaian band Okailey\, she is known for her striking ability to blend tradition with experimentation. Brüssel’s deep connection to texture and form makes her a natural fit for ORBIT’s evolving sound world
