Mo Egeston Presents: the Soul Alliance Trio featuring CocoSoul Live @ Lola Jan 24

Greetings,

Lola is a new music venue in the downtown Washington Ave loft district.  Every Sunday through March I am hosting a Brunch Music series called Mo Egeston Presents.  This gives me an opportunity to feature many of the artists that I began working with in 2009.

We had an incredible time this past Sunday with Brothers Lazaroff.  This Sunday January 24th I'm thrilled to bring back the Soul Alliance Trio featuring CocoSoul.  CocoSoul will be joining me at noon.  Sean Holland (bass) and I will do a set of soul-jazz and groove based instrumentals from 11-11:45.

Early arrival is recommended.

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,

This last Global Warmth of 2009 will be an all encompassing organic,eclectic,electric affair! In the months passed,Los Solteros (Jingo y Enoch) have brought the very best of their private record collections into an intimate lounge(thanks Nhat) and showcased genres from all about the globe,including but not limited to Afro Beat,Salsa,UK Soul,Brazilian and Indian,not to mention American and Jamaican Funk,in an effort to unite people from all walks of life thru good music & vibrations to thus heal the planet. Really doe.

The day after Xmas edition's listening party and record spin will be a mix of all of the flavors we love, blended harmoniously by Enoch; so come,taste, and experience them.

The live portion will feature spontaneous creations from the Urban Groov project, Lamar Harris a.k.a. DJ Nune (horns, boards,vocals,turntables n more) + Mo E(keyboards,beats and vocoder) +Jingo(percussion), a fusion of LatinSoulfulJazzyCosmicHouse.

If you've been to this event in the past you know that we raise the temperature literally and burn up the dancefloor, to the point of condensation upon it,no bull! We're gonna round the year off with the same intensity times ten. Be prepared,dress comfortably and bring dry clothes to leave in; you can thank us later ;^)

The needle drops at 9pm,the live heat hits circa 11,if you haven't shown up by midnight,you may not get in.

There's still no cover,so buy dranks,and dance your ass off and grow it back next year.

Thanks for all of your support for THE alternative to the club,and thanks in advance for your attendance.

See you there!
