EARTH, WIND & FIRE -‐ Bio XRIJF JUNE 20-‐28, 2014 During the 1970S
EARTH, WIND & FIRE - Bio During the 1970s, a new brand of pop music was born - one that was steeped in African and African- American styles - particularly jazz and R&B but appealed to a broader cross-section of the listening public. As founder and leader of the band Earth, Wind & Fire, Maurice White not only embraced but also helped bring about this evolution of pop, which bridged the gap that has often separated the musical tastes of black and white America. It certainly was successful, as EWF combined high-caliber musicianship, wide-ranging musical genre eclecticism, and '70s multicultural spiritualism. "I wanted to do something that hadn't been done before," Maurice explains. "Although we were basically jazz musicians, we played soul, funk, gospel, blues, jazz, rock and dance music...which somehow ended up becoming pop. We were coming out of a decade of experimentation, mind expansion and cosmic awareness. I wanted our music to convey messages of universal love and harmony without force- feeding listeners' spiritual content." Maurice was born December 19, 1941, in Memphis, TN. He was immersed in a rich musical culture that spanned the boundaries between jazz, gospel, R&B, blues and early rock. All of these styles played a role in the development of Maurice's musical identity. At age six, he began singing in his church's gospel choir but soon his interest turned to percussion. He began working gigs as a drummer while still in high school. His first professional performance was with Booker T. Jones, who eventually achieved stardom as Booker T and the MGs.

GREAT GOSPEL JAZZ PIONEERS: Were of Almost Equal Importance--The Fusion of Which Reflects His Part 1: Ramsey Lewis Signature Gospel Jazz Musical Style of Today
By Terrence Richburg © 2008 The phenomenal musical artistry of Ramsey Lewis is vastly celebrated throughout the world by audiences of all walks of life. However, his musical journey implicitly served as a foundational underpinning for the development of Gospel Jazz as an accepted new form of music. Born Ramsey Emmanuel Lewis, Jr. on May 27, 1935, Lewis excels as a Jazz icon, composer, and pianist. Touted as "the great performer, " his performance style and musical repertoire flourished from his early gospel technique and classical training along with his profound love of Jazz and other musical forms. Lewis had no experience playing Jazz, except for recordings his father played around his home which included such greats as Duke Ellington, Art Tatum, Mead Lux Lewis and others. He was only 15 when a fellow church musician, Wallace Burton, asked him to join his Jazz band and took the time to coach Lewis to learn (to him) the "brand new" language of Jazz. This provided Ramsey with his first real experience with Jazz, which soon became the major force in his musical life, but European classical and Gospel music GREAT GOSPEL JAZZ PIONEERS: were of almost equal importance--the fusion of which reflects his Part 1: Ramsey Lewis signature Gospel Jazz musical style of today. By 1966, Lewis was hailed as one of the most dominant Jazz pianists in the nation, topping the charts with such popular Gospel Jazz tunes as " Wade in the Water." Many of his recordings captivated large non-Jazz audiences. To his credit Ramsey Lewis has recorded over 80 albums and CDs and has received five gold records and three Grammy Awards so far in his extraordinary career.

Psaudio Copper
Issue 123 NOVEMBER 2ND, 2020 Every day is an opportunity to learn something. Even when there are days when we feel like we’re wading through molasses, we can still expand our knowledge, even if it’s just learning how to get better at wading through molasses. Being obsessed with all things audio, and lacking a degree in engineering or acoustics, I’ve spent a lifetime learning from others and by exploring, experimenting and doing stuff. One aspect of this is putting together each issue’s “Audio Anthropology” column. In the process, I look through old audio and electronics textbooks and find information I didn’t know before. It’s a reminder that if we want to expand our horizons in audio, or music, or anything, the journey is never-ending. Yogi Berra noted, “life is a learning experience, only if you learn.” Keep an open mind and open ears. Because of scheduling conflicts (in other words, there aren’t enough hours in a day for everyone concerned), the conclusion of our interview with Walter Schofield of Krell will run in the next issue. In this issue: Wayne Robins has a must-read review of Bruce Springsteen’s new album, Letter to You. Larry Schenbeck considers musical prize winners. Dan Schwartz tells what he’s been up to. WL Woodward has a review of the upcoming Zappa movie. J.I. Agnew gives perspective on the Loudness War. Tom Gibbs looks at new releases and reissues from Japandroids, the Replacements, Blue Note and Khatia Buniatishvili. Roy Hall visits distilleries in Scotland and Alón Sagee journeys to Mongolia.

A Study of Ancient Egyptian Themes in the Lyrics and Visual Art of Earth
ABSTRACT HUMANITIES BAILEY, TRENTON H. B.A. MOREHOUSE COLLEGE, 2008 M.A. CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, 2011 KEMETIC CONSCIOUSNESS: A STUDY OF ANCIENT EGYPTIAN THEMES IN THE LYRICS AND VISUAL ART OF EARTH, WIND & FIRE, 1973-1983 Committee Chair: Thomas Scott, Th.D. Dissertation dated December 2017 By the mid-1970s, Earth, Wind & Fire (EWF) became one of the most commercially successful pop music bands in the world. Their dynamic sound thrilled listeners and their elaborate concerts captivated audiences. EWF stood out from other artists with their philosophical messages and their use of ancient Egyptian symbols and imagery in their visual art. The ancient Egyptian themes intrigued fans but drew criticism from others. This study examines the ancient Egyptian themes incorporated into the lyrics of the songs recorded by the band. This study also examines the ancient Egyptian symbols used in the EWF’s visual art, including album covers, music videos, and concerts. A content analysis was conducted to study the lyrics and identify themes related to ancient Egyptian spirituality. A content analysis was also used to study the visual art i and decipher what the symbols may signify. This research was based on the premise that Earth, Wind & Fire used their artistry to be a positive influence. When the lyrics and visual art were examined, the researcher found that they both contain themes of ancient wisdom and universal truths. The conclusions drawn from the findings suggest that EWF’s mission was to raise the consciousness of the world, and the way people responded is an indication that the mission was accomplished.
