Early Life and Career

David Moore was born and raised in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. He started playing the piano at the age of four and by the age of six, he was playing classical and jazz piano in local clubs and theaters. His family moved to Los Angeles when he was a teenager, and it was there that he began his professional career as a musician.

Moore began playing with various R&B and soul bands in the early 1970s, including an stint with Marvin Gaye’s band. He also worked as a session musician for Motown Records. In 1975, he released his first solo album, “The Moore Sound.” The album contained mostly instrumentals, but also featured two vocal tracks: “I Wanna Be Where You Are” (a cover of a song originally recorded by Michael Jackson) and “Love Has Fallen on Me” (a cover of a song originally recorded by Stevie Wonder).

Instrumental Funk Music is a genre of music that combines elements of funk and R&B with jazz and soul. It is characterized by its heavy groove, often featuring extended improvisations. David Moore is one of the pioneers of the genre, and his 1975 album “The Moore Sound” is considered to be one of the earliest examples of instrumental funk music.

Musical Style

Musical style is difficult to define, because it can be found in so many places – from classical music to rock ‘n’ roll, and from country music to hip-hop. However, there are some common features that are often found in funk music. For example, funk songs often have a strong beat that you can tap your feet or nod your head to. They also often have a “groove” that makes you want to move your body. And finally, funk songs tend to have lots of ” pocket.” This means that the instruments fit together tightly, and each instrument plays an important role in creating the overall sound of the song.

Later Career

In the 1990s and 2000s, David Moore’s instrumental funk music took on a more meditative quality. His most recent releases, “Instrumentals for Relaxation” (2006) and “Calm Seas” (2008), are new age-influenced albums containing long, multi-tracked pieces featuring minimal harmonies and simple melodic motifs.
