Slide Gate: An Epic Journey of Transformation and Conflict Through Pavees Dance’s Experimental Jazz Rock
Drummer and composer Sean Noonan, celebrated as a 'Rhythmic Storyteller,' unveils his latest release, Slide Gate, marking the third installment from the jazz-rock ensemble Pavees Dance. Leading the way into Slide Gate, Noonan is joined by the original Can vocalist, Malcolm Mooney, the legendary bassist Jamaaladeen Tacuma (Ornette Coleman's Prime Time), and the guitarist Ava Mendoza (Unnatural Ways).
Slide Gate embarks on a storytelling adventure, revolving around an Android's quest to reclaim its humanity, guided by the mysterious Slide Gate. Within this mystical realm, the Android confronts an illusion of its human past, symbolizing a sanctuary of self-discovery.

As the narrative unfolds, a profound conflict surfaces between the Android and the Human, embodied by characters like Accabadora (Death) and the Holy Goat (Life). It's a journey akin to navigating the proverbial "Devil in the Deep Blue Sea," culminating in a dramatic confrontation. Accabadora and the Holy Goat vie for control over the Android's destiny, while the Android strives to return to its original human state.
The pivotal moment arrives as the Android emerges from the portal, undergoing a profound transformation with the triumph of the Holy Goat over Accabadora. The Android enters a secret valley, experiencing a rebirth that returns it to its human origins. Subsequently, the Human embarks on a journey back to the Slide Gate, completing a full circle of self-discovery and transformation.
