Noertker's Moxie (Noertker and Zamula) is joined by Stockton's own California Outside 
Music Associates (C.O.M.A.), saxophonist John Vaughn and drummer Dax Compise. Together they will be performing a new Noertker suite, inspired by the paintings of Franz Marc. This is part three of Noertker's Blue Rider Suite. Part one is inspired by Paul Klee. 
Part two, inspired by Wassily Kandinsky, was first performed last year by this same 
configuration of Moxie. 
 
Bassist Bill Noertker has been a mainstay of the Bay Area's vibrant creative music scene since the 1980s, performing with the avant rock ensemble Bardo and the genre mashing Aftre the End of the World Coretet. In 2001, 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, Salvador Dalí, and Joan Miró, architect Antoni Gaudí, poet Rainer Maria Rilke, sculptor David Beck, and others. Since 2001, he has composed over 150 pieces of music. Moxie has released four CDs - Sketches of Catalonia, Vol. 1: Suite for Dalí; 7 Days in February; Haiku Songs; and Sketches of Catalonia, Vol. 2: Suite for Miró. In April 2009, Moxie will release it’s fifth CD - Sketches of Catalonia, vol. 3: Suite for Antoni Gaudí.
 
Saxophonist Annelise Zamula is a founding member of the After the End of the World 
Coretet and has played with Noertker's Moxie since its inception in 2001. She has 
toured extensively in Europe and the United States with the Seattle-based Billy Tipton 
Memorial Saxophone Quartet. Back in the SF Bay Area, Zamula has performed with jazz, 
swing, blues, rock, and classical ensembles over the last two decades, honking her sax 
in clubs, cafes, concert halls, churches, and on local radio and television. She has 
appeared on at least 17 CDs and the number continues to grow.
 
Saxophonist John Vaughn is a founding member of COMA. He is currently involved in a 
recording project with COMA and playing with as many creative people as possible. He 
has performed in groups ranging from concert and jazz bands, pit orchestras to 
improvisations groups of all types. He is often playing in Sacramento with the Gambari 
Arts Ensemble led by Adam Jenkins or at Old Ironsides with Ross Hammond and Tony 
Passerell. John is focused on making the central Valley of California into a friendly 
place for improvising and experimental musicians.
 
Percussionist Dax Compise is one of the founding members of the California Outside 
Music Associates. He has performed throughout the region in settings ranging from the 
symphony, to blues and jazz groups, to fully improvised percussion ensembles. His 
command of the instrument and creativity has led to Dax being great demand as a 
sideman. Besides performing on a regular basis with COMA, he has forged a musical 
relationship with the improvisational community in Sacramento. Recordings with Ross 
Hammond and Tony Passerell are in the works.
 
C.O.M.A. The California Outside Music Associates, is a collective of improvising 
musicians from central California dedicated to music of the moment. The collective 
performs throughout California in settings ranging from the duo to an octet, with 
dancers, visual artists and poets.
