MATI Throwback: Mo Egeston’s All-Stars

Pianist and bandleader Maurice “Mo” Egeston created Mo Egeston All-Stars to bring to life the groove driven influences that have defined his original music since his days with pioneering live electronic music project Urban Jazz Naturals. The All-Stars have developed a unique sound around Egeston’s instrumental originals and vocal arrangements, influenced equally by traditional jazz improvisation, modern soul, Latin grooves, and electronic music.

Since the pandemic the Mo Egeston All-Stars have been collaborating with a variety of St. Louis area vocalists including multi-disciplinary artist AhSa-Ti Nu, vocalist and lyricist Michelle Higgins and featured vocalist Nikki Ellis.
