Стэнтон Мур наиболее знаменит как ударник замечательных групп Galactic и Garage a Trois. Не ограничиваясь этими, в первую очередь, джазовыми и фанковыми проектами, с 2009 года он также играет в составе рэпкор-супергруппы Street Sweeper Social Club вместе с Томом Морелло (Rage Against The Machine) и известным рэпером Бутсом Райли (Coup), а в 2005 году участвовал в записи альбома «In The Arms of God» металлической команды Corrosion of Conformity.
Где бы ни играл этот талантливейший барабанщик, слышны его корни - он родился в Луизиане и с самого рождения впитал атмосферу тех мест. Впоследствии он переехал в Новый Орлеан и его стиль игры воплотил в себе большую часть местных традиций и, вкупе с невероятной музыкальной фантазией, представляет собой поистине интереснейший сплав классического джаза, фанка, латино и сонма других жанров . Журнал Modern Drummer охарактеризовал этот сплав стилей (а если быть более точным - третий альбом Стэнтона) как «джаз и Бонэм в одном лице», а один музыкальный критик назвал его «самым черным из всех белых ударников» и это несомненная правда. Шикарная смесь из завораживающего грува, вкусного бэк-бита и интересных сбивок не сможет оставить равнодушным ни профессионального музыканта, ни просто любителя хорошей музыки.
