About Me

Moe Joe, Agustos 1994'te Feramerz Ayadi (gitar) ve Vefa Karatay (bas) tarafindan kuruldu. 1995'te calismalarina ara veren grup, Haziran 1996'da Istanbul Blues Kumpanyasi elemanlarindan Sarp Keskiner (vokal, washboard, gitar) ve Ilhan Babaoglu'nun (alto, tenor saksofon) katilimi ile sadece bar programlari icin bir sureligine "Moe Joe Blues Band" adini aldi. Grup, donemin blues rock gruplarinin aksine; sadece Chicago Westside - Southside, Texas, Detroit ve Mississippi Delta Blues stilleri uzerine uzmanlasmayi tercih ederek kisa zamanda Istanbullu blues ve caz dinleyicisinin ilgisini cekti. Vefa Karatay ve Asuman Urerin (davul) katilimi ile Haziran 1997'de tekrar "Moe Joe" adini alarak calismalarina yeniden hiz veren grubun 2002 yilina kadar sabit kalan kadrosu, Subat 1998'de Tugrul Aray'in (armonika, tenor saksofon, flut) katilimi ile netlesmis oldu.Moe Joe'nun Temmuz - Kasm 1998 tarihleri arasinda kaydedilen ve tamami grup elemanlarinin imzasini tasiyan on bir sarkidan olusan ilk albumu "Chicago Istanbul Mainline", 24 Kasim 2000'de Türkiye'de Ada Muzik etiketi ile yayinlandi. Gerek yerli, gerekse yabanci muzik medyasi tarafindan buyuk ilgi ile karsilanan albumun yayinlanmasinin ardindan grup; Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Izmit, Iskenderun, Antakya, Mersin, Adana ve Fethiye'yi kapsayan genis bir Turkiye turnesine cikti. Nisan 2000'de Urer'in yerini alan Ergin Ozler'in katilimi ile gerek sound; gerek farkli muzikal yonlere acilimlar anlaminda cizgisini tamamen yenileyen grup, Mayis 2002'de ara verdigi calismalarina Haziran 2003'te dort kisilik cekirdek ekiple yeniden start verdi.2001'den bu yana, geleneksel gospel ve blues formlari ile Karayip, Brezilya ve Afro - Küban ritmlerini harmanlayan grup, bu cerceve icerisinde Ozun Usta'nin (Tamburada & Istanbul Blues Kumpanyasi: conga, djembe, cajon) ve Yavuz Daridere'nin (The Cats (Izmir): hammond organ, fender rhodes) gruba katilimi ile genis kadrolu ozel konser projelerine imza atti.7. ve 8. Efes Pilsen Blues Festivali sirasinda gerceklestirilen klup jam sessionlarinda house band olarak Guitar Shorty, Eddie Kirkland, Nappy Brown gibi blues efsanelerinin yan sira Alvin Youngblood Hart ve Lavay Smith gibi yeni starlarla sahneyi paylasma onurunu yasayan Moe Joe, bu isimlerin disinda ayrica, grubu sahnede izleyen Mick Jagger (Rolling Stones), Adam Rudolph (Yusef Lateef, Pharoah Sanders), Randy Weston, George Benson, Jeff Shucard (Sweet Papa Lowdown), Claudio Bedran (Blues Etilicos), Ronnie Peterson, Steve Dawson (Zubot & Dawson) ve John Scofield gibi efsanevi isimlerin destegini ve takdirini kazandi.
