The Essex
The Essex was an R&B vocal group.
Formed in 1961, The Essex eventually included Anita Humes, Walter Vickers (guitar), Rodney Taylor (drums), Billie Hill and Rudolph Johnson. Vickers and Taylor started the group while they were with the United States Marine Corps, stationed in Japan.
"Easier Said Than Done", which climbed to the top of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, was performed by four Marines, not including co-writer William Linton, stationed at Camp LeJeune in North Carolina. Linton said that the beat was inspired by the sound of multiple teletype machines, noisy mechanical beasts pounding out copy in the base's communications room. In 1962, a demo scored them a recording contract with Roulette Records. Recruiting lead singer Anita Humes, they recorded the song (Roulette 4494) in less than five minutes.
Three months after "Easier Said Than Done" charted in June, The Essex had another top 20 hit with the follow-up song, "A Walkin' Miracle" (Roulette 4515) in September 1963. "She's Got Everything" was another charting song. Their Marine duties made it hard for the group to take advantage of their hits; for example, before long, Johnson [Read more]

The vinyl recordings are collector's items. A "best-of" CD was released by Sequel Records in 1995

Mosaic Foundation
Mosaic Foundation is a eight-piece roots reggae band hailing from Rochester, NY. blast powerful political lyrics withhorn harmonies (Jon Lourette on saxophone, and Chad O'Brien on trombone) and the tightest rhythm section in town. With their original tunes, Mosaic Foundation sweetly rocks the house and the body. Alternating between songs that send political messages and easy love songs like "Long Way Home," the band provides a range of material in a single set.
?Mosaic Foundation is held down by the strong drum beats of John-Paul Nawn (who also plays in Ithaca with Kevin Kinsella and David "Solid" Gould & the Temple Rockers) and the booming bass of Ben "Steady" Panepento. Ken Luk, a student at Eastman School of Music, plays rhythm guitar and melodica while Mike Corey, one of the band's founding members, takes the lead on guitar and has a hand in writing the original music and lyrics. Ekwem Bogmis hits the bubble on the keys and has recently joined in the composition of some new tunes.
Mosaic Foundation has opened for world renowned reggae artists Toots and the Maytals, Rebelution, Passafire & local favorites The Po'Boys Brass Band, Thousands of One, John Brown [Read more]
