Drummer Stanton Moore is a founding member of the jazz funk bands Galactica and Garage a Trois. But he is also a busy sideman and he records occasionally as a leader. He is a fixture on the New Orleans jazz scene. He was born July 9, 1972 in New Orleans. Moore grew up hanging around New Orleans clubs. He was taught to play drums by Johnny Vidacovich of Astral Project. He met Robert Mercurio in 1992 and they formed Galactica. They started recording and touring in 1996. Moore recorded his debut as a leader in 1998. Magnolia Triangle is from his 2000 album Flyin' the Koop on Verve/Blue Thumb. Magnolia Triangle was written by drummer James Black while he was recording with Yusef Lateef in 1965. Black also was a sideman for Nat Adderley and others. Musicians are Eric "Sherik" Walton on sax and Chris Wood of Medeski, Martin and Wood on bass. He was in Moore's touring band at the time. Walton is a sideman known for his unusual technique called saxophonics. Karl Denson plays sax on some tracks and so does guitarist Brian Seeger. This album is available as a budget CD. Moore continues as a member of Galactica and more recently Garage a Trois. He also opened the Stanton Moore Drum Academy in 2017. He has recorded for Telarc, Royal Potato Family and currently the Dutch label Cool Green. His latest album With You In Mind was released in 2017.
