Noah Becker May 1, 2019
*
Noah Becker was born in Cleveland, Ohio and grew up on a 40-acre farm on Thetis Island, off the coast of British Columbia. He moved with his family to Victoria, British Columbia, at age 15, after their house burned down. He had little early formal education and did not attend high school. He was a student at Victoria College of Art, and completed a year studying saxophone at Humber College, before moving to New York in 2004. Becker's first album, "Where We Are", features guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel. Becker's recent recordings as a sideman have been with Canadian hip hop artist Moka Only. Rosenwinkel and Only also contributed music to the soundtrack of "New York Is Now", Becker's 2010 documentary on the New York art scene. Becker performed with saxophonist David Murray at New York City's famous jazz club the Village Vanguard in 2018. * Source Wikipedia
Noah has also performed with Hootie & The Blowfish, Wynton Marsalis, Jim Byrnes and other musical luminaries, too many to mention here.
