Stanton Moore is a New Orleans native. Stanton Moore was one of the many musicians who suffered losses in the Hurricane Katrina floods, though afterward, he donated and helped to get donations for musicians affected, arranging and performing at benefit concerts. Moore recorded III after Katrina, and there is a suite of pieces on the CD inspired by the flood, that ends the CD.
He leaves you feeling good!

There's a lot to be said for a person who suffers a loss and is able to reach out to others the way Stanton Moore did. I have not heard the pieces inspired by the flood but I will make it a point to do that. He is an inspiration.
