Celebrate 20 years of Noertker's Moxie with Walking on Blue Eggshells, volume one of the new Billville trilogy, a collection of 25 previously unreleased live performances spanning two decades. The compositions contained herein are Noertker's reflections on his travels, his encounters with art, his penchant for poetry, his love of Catalonia, his sense of wonder at words, his fondness for the tritone, his fascination with film. An assortment of his trusted fellow musical travelers help him breathe life into these aural reflections. In 2001, Bill Noertker formed Noertker’s Moxie as a vehicle for his thematic compositions. Since then he has composed over 150 pieces of music and has released sixteen CDs on the Edgetone Records label, including the soundtrack for Curious Worlds: the Art and Imagination of David Beck and the extended suites Sketches of Catalonia; The Blue Rider; The Druidh; and Tricycle.

The answer seems to be that it was reborn in the Bay Area, during the 21st Century with the ever-shifting personnel of bassist Bill Noertker’s Moxie combos. Celebrating the group’s 20th anniversary, the bassist has released this trilogy of 25 accomplished tunes all composed by Noertker and recorded during that time period." - Ken Waxman, Jazzword "Walking on Blue Eggshells in Billville is a fine slice of esoteric jazz that might take a while to fully digest but will be well worth the effort. An Edgetone Records release." - Jon Neudorf, Sea of Tranquility |
