Sean Sonderegger

Warrior Circle was formed by Sean Sonderegger at the tender age of 19 in his native Los Angeles at around the turn of the 21st century. Inspired by the musicians and music of his city (Harold Land, Billy Higgins, Bennie Maupin, Horace Tapscott, Katisse Buckingham, Isaac Smith, etc.) as well as his ethnomusicological studies, the Warrior Circle tradition continues in New York. On his latest recording Sonderegger enlists the talent of fellow young West Coast transplants Ezana Edwards (trumpet) and Adam Jackson (drums), as well as two seasoned veterans:the great jazz french hornist Mark Taylor (in his recording debut on mellophonium) and the fabulous multi-instrumentalist/poet/educator/personality Roy Nathanson (who wrote/recites the poem on "Long Lug of Limbs").
