Mo Egeston

Pianist Maurice Mo Egeston returns to the Kranzberg Arts Center with Mo E All-Stars along with special guests Mario Pascal, Thelonius Kryptonite and CocoSoul .The evening will be recorded for a live EP that will be released in late 2014.For this special event the All-Stars will also feature frequent collaborators Matthew Von Doran on guitar and Teddy Brookins on bass.Beginning in the earliest era of St. Louis’ Washington Avenue club district, Mo Egeston has had a strong presence in the St. Louis live music scene, working with and supporting some of the city’s top talents. Since his days with Urban Jazz Naturals Mo’s original music has been inspired by the world of DJ/producer based electronic music. But his approach has always been to recreate those sounds with live musicians. Since 2010 Mo All-Stars has served as the vehicle for Egeston’s original music. With a core of like minded musicians and friends- Grover Stewart Jr. on drums and “Duane “Jingo” Williams on percussion- Egeston is able to merge all of his influences into a cohesive sound. Creating a vibe that borrows from house music, jazz, Latin, drum and bass and underground soul.Advanced ticket purchase is recommended.  http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/859469
