Greetings,
Hard to believe we're at the end of the month again but that means the Mo E All-Stars will be taking the stage at Lola which is always a good thing.  This Saturday March 31 we'll be on at 9 PM opening up for a diverse bill of artists that includes Hawthorne Headhunters, Def Sound and the headliner J*Davey.

Check out Lola's website for more info. welovelola.com

The week got off to a great start with the Mo E All-Stars 3 at the Delmar Lounge. The Delmar is changing some things around which means we got to stretch out and play the late set. Drummer Grover Stewart and percussionist Duane Williams killed it!  Unfortunately due to scheduling conflicts it looks like we won't be doing an April show.  But we'll definitely be back in May with our own special blend of House, Soul, Latin and Nu Jazz.

Here's a clip or click the link if you get this in an email.  Many thanks to everyone who came out and supported the All-Stars groove.



Switching hats for a minute, this week also marks the beginning of solo and ensemble and recital season.  As usual I'll be accompanying the orchestra students from Ladue Middle School.   Following that violinist Twinda Murry and I will hold  our next student recital at Steinway Piano Gallery on May 1.  This year I'm also excited to accompany the violin and voice students from Teipen Performing Arts for our Spring Recital on May 20.

I joined mezzo-soprano/violinist Nora Teipen, pianist George Tesson and guitarist Deyan Bratic (all Teipen teachers) this past week for a special 2nd grade classroom visit at Conway Elementary. We talked about our careers in music and did quick demonstrations of our instruments and various styles of music. The kids got to hear opera, finger style guitar, jazz and even a little Charlie Brown music (Guaraldi) and we had a great time doing it.  Nice to have such a curious and appreciative audience! We definitely will do that again.

Returning to club land...

I'll be doing a couple of shows in early to mid April at Lola during the dinner hour.  One date is to be confirmed but Thursday April 19 is on the books as a part of the all new Downtown STL Art Walk.  Dates and times will be confirmed by the next update.

Of course the big news in April is Brothers Lazaroff's CD release weekend April 20-22.   Coming off another fun SXSW we're looking forward to a weekend that showcases all sides of the band.  Friday its the Gramophone with the Feed and Cree Rider and Saturday we're unplugged at the Focal Point with special guests CocoSoul and James Stone Goodman.

The weekend closes with a return to Sunday Brunch at Lola also featuring JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound.  The new release "Science Won" is already getting some spins on KDHX....official promotions are on the way.

Coming Soon...

April 27- 1904 Steakhouse (River City) with CocoSoul
April 28 @ Lola with Mark DeClive Lowe

Thanks for reading.  Hope to see you at a show soon!

Mo Egeston's Music Updates- Copia and Lola this weekend

Greetings,

Had a blast with Brothers Lazaroff this past weekend in Austin.  As well as the usual Brothers magic we had the pleasure of some great Austin guest musicians including Timmy Campbell on percussion and the incomparable Lauren Gurgiolo on a multitude of guitar like instruments.  Our Jo's brunch set even featured a guest violin appearance by the one and only Ruby Jane.  At one time she was known as a child prodigy.  These days...as a teen- she's a total pro.  Quite the treat all around.

And yes, there is a rumor going around that I attempted to dance the 2 step in an Austin dance hall.  What's that slogan?  What happens in Austin...

This weekend is full of good music.  On Friday October 29  the Soul Alliance Trio featuring CocoSoul makes its debut at Copia Urban Winery.  We'll be doing sets of Disco, Club Classics, Acid Jazz and House from 8-11 PM.

This Saturday October 30 its time to Celebrate the Groove with a special Halloween show at Lola.  For this Halloween party mo E All-Stars will be joining a roster of house DJs to celebrate the birthday of DJ Stacy Kidd.  We'll be doing live house, breaks and drum and bass in the Absinthe Bar along with a rotating cast of DJs including Jen Ha, Vinyl Bitchie, Buddah and Alexis Tucci.  2 rooms of music all night long.

The party starts around 9 and we'll be playing by 10:30.

The weekend concludes with the return of the Soul Alliance Trio to Lola for brunch.  11-2- no cover and kids are always welcome.

Mo E's Music Updates. All-Stars Saturday. Soul Alliance with CocoSoul Sunday.

Greetings,

mo E All-Stars Breakbeat Throwdown is happening again this Saturday September 18.  This was a last minute addition but we're having so much fun developing this thing that we jumped at the chance.  I'll be joined by Grover Stewart on drums and Duane "Jingo" Williams on percussion.  Early we keep it chill with some head bobbing dinner grooves.  Later in the evening we will be playing some original ideas and arrangements in the styles of house, downtempo and drum and bass with influences of jazz, Latin and soul.  Check out this promo to hear a live clip from last weekend.  www.youtube.com/watch. 

We'll be there from 8- 11:30 PM with a DJ to follow.   Last time we had some folks up and dancing during the last set.  Good times indeed.

On Sunday September 19 its mo E's Lola Live! with Soul Alliance Trio featuring CocoSoul.  As you know from the last note we're all very proud of Coco for winning the St. Louis level of the Budweiser Superfest Battle for the Crown.  She's now competing nationally but the competition is all online.  So basically the contestant with the most computer savvy fans will win nationals.   Help Coco out by voting daily at www.battleforthecrown.com.  You are asked to verify your age since its an alcohol company and they also ask that you watch 2 videos before voting.  You do not have to watch the complete video.  Or even more than a couple of seconds....if you're in a hurry.

Sean Holland joins me for a set of Acid Jazz at 11 AM which will include a couple of mo E originals.  Coco takes the stage at noon for 2 sets of chilled out house, disco and soul.  This is an all ages event and Lola has expanded into a seriously cool place to hang, eat, drink and enjoy good live music.  We'd love to see you!

Tonight (9/10) the mo E All-Stars return to the Delmar as a trio.  Grover Stewart will bring his breakbeat artistry to the drums and Duane "Jingo" Williams adds his unique brand of funky percussion.  At 8 PM we'll do a set of Acid Jazz and chill grooves for dinner.  After that we'll take a tour of mostly original house, drum and bass, downtempo and electronica with flavors of jazz, Latin and soul.

We have a blast at these gigs and there is even room to get down if you're feeling it.  To add to the night we'll be wishing a special Happy Birthday to our man David Lazaroff (D Laz) who plans to stop by and hang for a bit as a part of his night of birthday shenanigans.

Mo Egeston's Music Updates. Hyatt and Lola this weekend.

 Greetings, 

If you're in the STL this weekend join us downtown at the Hyatt at the Arch as Soul Alliance Trio featuring CocoSoul  takes the stage.  We'll be doing 3 sets of house, club classics, disco and soul from 9-12.  I'm posting two links to recent Soul Alliance performances below.  The first link is actually from April when the band took part in the James Brown Tribute for KDHX.  This lineup also includes Ramon White on bass and David Lazaroff on guitar. Soul Alliance as a four piece recently kicked it at Jammin at the Zoo.  There are a few clips up so I linked to one of Coco singing Golden.  

Also this weekend make Sunday Funday with the mo E trio at Lola.  Grover and Ted will be joining me with a possible sit in from percussionist Jingo Williams.   That's this Sunday from 11-2.  The new expansion is really working to everyone's benefit with more space for dining, better places to eat and watch the musicians and even a dance floor.  The trio will be exploring acid-jazz,  Latin, swing and of course some house.  Join us won't you?

Other News

Last week mo E Trio had a special sit in by guitarist Matthew Van Doran.  Matthew, a recent transplant from Orange County, is settling in downtown St. Louis.   Stay tuned- he's a great player and really nice guy.

Mo E All-Stars made its Saturday night debut last weekend at Lola.  We had a blast and DJ Steve-O was a treat. Special thanks to David, Grover, Jingo, Chris "the Proprietor" Hanson and Steve for the tasty grooves.  We return with another installment of Celebrate the Groove Saturday September 25 at Lola.

Coming Soon

After a successful debut at Fair St. Louis a smaller version of the mo E All-Stars hits the Delmar Lounge- 6235 Delmar Ave this Friday July 9.  We'll do a set of chill grooves and acid jazz at 8.  Later the fun begins as Grover Stewart (drums), Jingo Williams (percussion) and myself take a journey into the world of electronica inspired grooves.

Follow the link if you don't see the video to watch the All-Stars recent Fair St. Louis performance.

We'll do everything from jazzy drum and bass to fully organic house with the beat machine being only a component of the sound.  Grover and Jingo can recreate any groove I can write and they will have plenty of space to throw down.  We end at 11:30 so join us early if you can.  Guests may be stopping in as well.

And the new Delmar menu is really good...I'm a fan of the blackened fish.

Mo E Music. UG Project @ Lola tonight, Soul Alliance/CocoSoul tomorrow for brunch.

Greetings and Happy Summer,

Not sure what happened to Spring.... First we'd really like to thank all of those who voted in this year's RFT Music Poll.  Brothers Lazaroff was honored as the best Americana band (non-traditional).  Stay tuned for an announcement about the new Brothers album later in 2010. 

Also I'm excited to announce the debut of the mo E All-Stars.  No I haven't lost it and started yet another band.   The All-Stars is an extension of the mo E Trio-groove edition and features memebers of the rhythm section as opposed to the traditional lead singer or horn player.  We are debuting under the Arch at Fair St. Louis July 3.  See below for poster.

Tonight UG Project brings their unique brand of deep house mixed with jazz, Latin and soul back to Lola.  Showtime is 9:30.  Lamar Harris won't be with us but I'll be joined by Duane "Jingo" Williams and CJ Conrod as usual.  Special guests may be in the house (heh heh) as well.

Hi here are a couple of blurbs for tonight's mo E trio show and this Sunday at Lola.  Enjoy your weekend!

mo E trio- Groove Edition 

Friday June 11

8- 11:30

The Delmar Lounge

Free Early

mo E trio represents the voice of pianist and bandleader Maurice "Mo" Egeston. Mo is currently known for his work as a leader of UG Project (with DJ Nune) and the Soul Alliance featuring CocoSoul as well as his work with Brothers Lazaroff.

The trio allows Mo to return to his roots as a pianist since the dinner set will include soul-jazz, standards and downtempo grooves. But as the evening progresses the groove will shift and get a whole lot deeper.

Drummer Grover Stewart and percussionist Duane "Jingo" Williams join Mo and his rack of beat machines as they explore live drum n bass, jazz and Latin flavored house and more.

Grover is a breakbeat master and Jingo and Mo have been laying down live deep house grooves since the birth of UG Project in 2008.

This is the trio's second visit to the Delmar Lounge. The first time was a blast and the new menu is great.

2010 RFT Music Showcase- My Completely Biased Choices

The 2010 RFT Music Showcase hits Washington Ave this Saturday.  UG Project plays at 3 followed by Brothers Lazaroff at 4 PM at 11th and Washington.
Vote by clicking here.

Many great artists are nominated so feel free to look around....Below are the blurbs on my favorites.  They are from this original RFT post .

You may notice a theme...but honestly after years in this game I know many deserving folks that aren't ever recognized which is unfortunate.

But it is always nice to have your work acknowledged and its cool that the RFT continues to pull this together year after year.

Blurbs are below. Because of our shows at River City and Lola that weekend (and CocoSoul's Chaka tribute at the Black Rep Sunday night) the Soul Alliance won't be part of the showcase.

Best Funk/Soul/R&B (Group)
The Soul Alliance featuring CoCoSoul
www.thesoulalliancestl.com


Led by musical director Mo Egeston and featuring devastating vocalist CocoSoul, the Soul Alliance is not a musty oldies band. Together the act demolishes the boundaries between funk, R&B — and, yes, soul — with impressive instrumental skill. There may be louder rhythm sections in St. Louis, but the one-two punch of Jason "Dirty Lynt" Moore on drums and Sean "Hollabass" Holland on bass keeps the Soul Alliance as tight as any unit in town. (RK) 

Best Americana/Folk (Untraditional)Brothers Lazaroffwww.brotherslazaroff.com

To be clear, Jeff and David Lazaroff — the look-alike, but not twin siblings of Brothers Lazaroff — have moved beyond all things folk, even as their songwriting retains its connection to their heroes: Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. Backed up by the supremely tight rhythm section of Teddy Brookins and Grover Stewart and pushed into the funkosphere by jazz and electronic maestro Mo Egeston on keyboards, Brothers Lazaroff can jam your ass and stir your heart. (RK)

Best Funk/Soul/R&B (Group)
UG Projectwww.ugproject.com
Urban Groov Project (UG Project for short) is co-helmed by veteran sonic-alchemist and keyboardist Mo Egeston and composer and brassman DJ Nune. Along with percussionist Duane "Jingo" Williams, the UG Project plays a funk-based form of jazz fusion that will appeal to electronica heads, experimental hip-hoppers and anyone who wonders what electric Herbie Hancock mashed up with deep house sounds like. (RK)

Also this weekend I join DJ Nune and a possible guest artist TBA with UG Project.  UG Project incorporates the drive and groove of electronic dance music with jazz, funk and soul.  We perform using a combination of horns, vocals, vocoder, keys, software and hardware sequencing.  Also at Lola we hit from 9:30- 1.   We may be shooting video so stay tuned for another announcement.  Saturday Jan 23

And finally An Evening With  Brothers Lazaroff this Friday Jan 22.  at Riddle's in the U City Loop.  Americana, Folk, Indie Rock.  This band has been getting some very nice buzz all year and we look forward to hitting the studio in February.

During the day, find me with my piano teacher hat on with a brand new location at Teipen Performing Arts.  Conveniently located in the U City/Clayton area.

Peace,
