Featured speaker: Eddie Moore, “Behind the Artist”

A lifelong musician traversing a number of bands and styles, Eddie Moore is a graduate of the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where he received an M.A. in Jazz Studies. He reaches from all aspects of Black American music with a soulful elegance to match his thoughtful and intentional playing. His sound is textural with a velvety warmth that blurs the lines between jazz fusion, hip-hop, and neo-soul. Moore has released nine albums that live in a variety of settings, as a solo artist and with groups Eddie Moore & the Outer Circle, and We the People.

His music has been featured on several platforms, including Downbeat Jazz Magazine, JAZZIZ Magazine, The KC Star, The Pitch KC, and KC Studio Magazine, to name a few. His music was also featured in award-winning short films “Room Tone” and “Bel- Air,” by Morgan Cooper.

Moore is a recipient of the 2016 Charlotte Street Generative Performance Award for his genre-bending collaborations in improvised music, and a 2020 recipient of the Cultural Producers Grant from Charlotte Street for his pilot music incubator, Tribe Studios. Among all this, he is the in-demand keyboardist in the Midwest both for his work with analog synths, contemporary keyboards, and acoustic piano. He has shared the stage with Tia Fuller, Tivon Pennicott, Boyz to Men, Erykah Badu, Chantae Cann, and many more.
