Earth Wind & Fire

An outstanding Earth Wind & Fire live performance in NYC in 1973. A perfect snapshot of Maurice White and Co. caught in transition between their 3rd and 4th album. A sophisticated yet infectious mix of R&B and Soul-Funk elements taking shape from White's embracing kalimba playing. At this stage Ew&f were Jessica Cleaves and Philip Bailey – vocals, and congas, Johnny Graham – guitar, Verdine White – bass, Larry Dunn – organ, electric piano, Ralph Johnson – drums and Andrew Woolfolk – sax, flute. A super tight band with a trademark and unique sound.
