   About Noertker’s Moxie
In 2001, bassist Bill Noertker formed his own group, Noertker's Moxie, as a forum for his thematic compositions. He has been writing suites of music inspired by visual artists such as Paul Klee, Vasili Kandinsky, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, and Joan Miró, architect Antoni Gaudí, poet Rainer Maria Rilke, sculptor David Beck, and others.

In the last decade, Bill Noertker has composed over 150 original pieces of music for jazz ensemble. His compositions point to the continuity between the jazz tradition and the avant-garde. His use of group improvisation and his attention to the individual voices of each of his bandmates call forth the human element so sorely missing from much of today’s jazz.

In September 2003, Noertker's Moxie released its first CD, Sketches of Catalonia, Vol. 1: Suite for Dalí, on Edgetone Records.

In July 2004, two CD-Rs of live recordings of Noertker's Moxie shows at the SIMM Series were released: 7 Days in February (from the 4 April 2004 show), and Haiku Songs (from the 2 May 2004 show)

In April 2007, Noertker's Moxie released another CD, Sketches of Catalonia, Vol. 2: Suite for Miró, on Edgetone Records.

In April 2009, Noertker's Moxie released Sketches of Catalonia, vol. 3: Suite for Gaudí. You can preview track 5, Bellesguard, here at Myspace.

As of October 5, 2009, the sixth Noertker's Moxie CD, druidh lacunae. is now available. To can preview track 4, Desert Canto, here at myspace.

Just in case you're in the San Francisco Bay Area area during the holidays, I'd like to invite you to my CD Release Party & performance on Dec. 28, 8pm at Anna's Jazz Island in downtown Berkeley! It's a cute jazz club, very welcoming atmosphere, located at 2120 Allston Way. I'll be performing with my trio (myself on piano, Eric Marshall on bass, Andre Custodio on drums) with special guests Alex Yeung on electric guitar, and my jazz mentor Eddie Gale, a legendary trumpeter who recorded with Cecil Tayler and Sun Ra. It should be a great evening of music! Warm wishes for the holidays, Valerie
