When you think of New Orleans, some things are automatic — Mardi Gras, Bourbon Street, Louis Armstrong. But there is a new generation of people who without hesitation will add Stanton Moore to that list. In a city where the horn and the drum are sacred, Stanton Moore is at the forefront of a pack who, with their unique styles and impossible rhythms, has changed the face of not only New Orleans funk and jazz, but all music; a pack whose members include Zigaboo Modeliste, Smokey Johnson, June Gardner, Herlin Riley, Herman Ernst, Bob French, Shannon Powell, and Moore’s mentor and New Orleans treasure, John Vidacovich.
