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.

Coming Soon:

Brothers Lazaroff CD release at Lola on Nov. 12

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

mo E All-Stars Breakbeat Throwdown featuring Grover and Jingo.  Delmar Lounge September 10. 8 PM

mo E All Stars Live @ Lola Celebrate The Groove- this Saturday

Greetings,

I'm excited to announce the big show of the week (in my world) this Saturday August 28 at Lola as I am joined by the mo E All Stars crew.  mo E All-Stars is a loose collection of rhythm section players that all share a love of house music and other electronica genres including drum and bass.

Essentially I mix the beats and loops that I use in bands like the Soul Alliance Trio and UG Project with a fully live rhythm section.  At times its completely organic, at times the band plays in sync with some of my original tracks.  Driving the funk is drummer Grover Stewart- a self described "house head".  He brings his full arsenal of musical tricks to the All-Star Stage including the occasional vocal. Grover's breakbeat skills are not to be missed.

Percussionist Duane "Jingo" Williams and I have played live house together since 2008.  Jingo brings an encyclopedic knowledge of groove based styles to the stage. (*He'll also be the other guy with sunglasses on at night. ) We will also be joined by Lola owner and percussionist Chris Hansen- a true veteran of the live house scene from his days with the Hot House Sessions. 

Bringing a decidedly indie rock sound to the mix is guitarist David "DLaz" Lazaroff also of Brothers Lazaroff.  David will be singing a couple of his originals as well.  And finally we have guest noise artist collaborator Paco from Denver, CO.

Adding to the Celebration will be 4 time (at least) RFT "Best Club DJ" Steve-O.  This is a true treat for me.  Steve-O helped cement my love of all things house beginning with his legendary nights at the Otherworld with detours through the Upstairs, Rue 13, Velvet, the Green Room, Atlantis and the OZ. Hard to believe that began 15 years ago.  Steve-O will be digging deep into the vinyl and spinning everything from Acid Jazz to Soul to Deep House.  The needle drops between 8:30 and 9 and Steve will also spin between and after the sets.

We are all really looking forward to having some fun and kicking some grooves.  Feel free to join us and get your dance on.

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.

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.

Red Pill Recording Session with Brothers Lazaroff- Live Stream Archive

"Red Pill Recording Session with Brothers Lazaroff

Brothers Lazaroff
Red Pill Studio is located in St. Louis, Missouri. The work ethic of Red Pill is founded on collaboration. Artist development is our core technology and philosophy at Red Pill."

Jeff and David recently went in and did vocals.  This is a look inside the first session where we did the rhythm tracks for 15 songs.  15 songs that the rhythm section was playing for the first time.

Scary for me since I've never done that.  But it was also truly liberating.  Had a blast working with Jacob for the first time in a true session.

Look for a release late in 2010 from Brothers Lazaroff.

Introducing the Mo E Trio

mo E trio- a Journey in Sound Soul & Groove

moegeston.com

From the start of his performing career in the mid 90s Maurice
“Mo” Egeston has made a mark in the St. Louis region as a leader of innovative and
popular bands. His early study of classical piano brought him to
graduate work at SIU-E. It was while completing his Master's that Mo
began exploring styles of music beyond the classical tradition.

Since then, all of his projects including Vargas Swing, the Soul Alliance featuring CocoSoul, Urban Jazz Naturals and mo & dawn have seen Mo combine his musical talent and formal
training with an ability to lead and run successful groups.

In 2010 Mo Egeston is returning to his roots as a pianist by fronting his own group- the
mo E trio. The Trio combines influences from all the projects Mo currently performs in (UG Project, the Soul Alliance, and Brothers Lazaroff) with his own interest in soul, jazz and electronic
influences.  The resulting sound is a groove based experience
that seeks to redefine traditional expectations. 


(Thanks to John Evans Jr. for much of the video and photography)


Drummer Grover Stewart and bassist Teddy Brookins join Mo on this journey. Styles referenced include soul, jazz, bossa, r & b, organic house grooves and drum and bass but no genre is considered off limits. Originals, jazz standards, pop music and neo-soul melodies will all be a part of the Mo E Trio sound.  A sound which easily slides from deep lounge ambiance to center stage funk grooves. At times guest artists will be part of the experience but the sound starts with Mo, Grover and Ted.

mo E trio-always diverse and improvisational with a definite focus on the tap of the toe and the nod of the head.

Brothers Lazaroff w/ Mo E on Keys Tonight at Wash U Kemper Art Museum

I've only been with these guys since November but its been great from day one. Influences include
Dylan, the Beatles, traditional old school country, the Dead, reggae and many many more.

Always eclectic and genre bending I'm proud to say I'm a member of this band. Fresh off a great run at SXSW the Brothers are poised to do some great things!

Bridging the geographical gap between St. Louis, Missouri, and Austin, Texas, BROTHERS LAZAROFF lay waste to the idea that long-distance relationships can't work!

With their first record PURE DELIGHT (co-produced/engineered/mixed by David Sanger, 6-time Grammy winning drummer of ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL) and a second record on the way, The Brothers combine experimentation with conventional folk elements, and in the process effectively find a way to reconcile traditionally opposing musical genres to create a refreshing sound. BROTHERS LAZAROFF do this with their unique blend of roots music that breaks down the barrier of time, rather than the barrier between musical styles.

Guitars, mandolins, computers, organs, banjos, drum machines, fiddles, steel guitars, horns, pianos, scrambled up rhythm sections; all working toward this effect. And yes, Hank matters but so does Scratch and of course all three Bobs and all those from Canada and those from before the time of telephone poles and those who've grown up with them as if they're just another family of trees.

BROTHERS LAZAROFF take the approach that everything matters, but nothing should be taken seriously.
