Here's the thing I grew up with Earth Wind and Fire, I also studied music for 20 years. It's a perfect cover note for note. The biggest difference between this and the original is that Maurice White is singing the original ... now no body get after me here ... Maurice is black and has a very special sound to his voice because of that. Outside of that, in other words it's note for note. The sound is slightly different BUT MOST PEOPLE Can't tell the difference ... think about this these are Russians singing a great song ... Leonid and Friends are touring the US, What many people don't know is that Chicago and Earth Wind and Fire have been touring together for years ... why because the two groups go well together. Leonid covers both groups and do a fantastic job of it ... what I want them to do is start writing their own music in the same style. For me it is great to hear someone cover both bands, I love horns in a rock band.

I agree with the last part of your statement. They will not be a GREAT band until they start doing their OWN music. They won't be great covering other people's music and arrangements. They have to get their Own sound. Bands need to have an identity. This group will never have an identity other than a good cover band, of which there are Thousands, until they break out and do something original.

I usually don't like covers very much. I'm kind of old school like that. But when I heard this and their story I thought of you. The main guy who was the bass player in the bell bottom jeans. Took songs like this one and a lot of Chicago songs and wrote out all the instrumentation and vocals and harmonies by ear. They did not have any sheet music. Only by ear did he give everyone sheet music. Plus they're from Russia so English is not their first language. So that just reminded me of you mrm. And I was honestly impressed by their covers. They actually did a short tour in the US or earlier this year. They're definitely worth checking out. Thanks for the request

I would like to add: Any published sheet music would not have gotten them that close to the original. I have been playing in small bands since primary school, done a lot of English/American pop/rock music, and the few times I actually had the chance to lay hands on a printed version it was far from what we heard on the record (I would rather call it sh*t music). As you can hear, Leonid & Friends are doing a great job - because they do it by ear to that great extent (the transcriptions are just an aide to organizing and memorizing the stuff).

What are you reacting to? How well a group Covered Earth, Wind and Fire? Covering "note for note" is NOT good enough. That's what amateurs do. The arrangements have already been done. It's like what they do with classical music. Copying note for note, and the "skill" is in how well you can COPY somebody else's masterpiece. Very rarely better than the original. And they used girls for the backgrounds. NO girls in Earth, Wind and Fire. American groups use women to sing their old songs when they can no longer hit the notes.

Mr. Smith- I encourage you to revisit this particular group and their rendition of "September." I would have thought you might have been a little more enthusiastic in your review. I have had the opportunity to see EW&F live on several occasions, and they undoubtedly set a very high standard with their music. However- Leonid & Friends nailed it like very few bands could have. This is a very difficult piece of music to say the least. I am a singer and musician, and my oldest son is a professional jazz trumpet player who has also played with groups that cover this tune. He will tell you it is without doubt one of the most challenging trumpet parts out there today. Your channel is very interesting, and I will keep an eye on it. God's Blessings, my brother, keep the faith!

i'm a horn player since 1968...Leonid and Friends are tight. Not just covering Earth, Wind and Fire but delivering a complete package.

I wish I could afford to bring them in for my daughter’s wedding in June 2021. If I was rich I’d have them play in Pittsburgh for reception

Been a fan for a couple years now. What an amazing amount of talent. They sound good when they all harmonize. Their horns and percusion is spot on. To copy Terry Kath is almost impossible but this guy does do a great job. Their only weakness is sometimes on vocals but not this song. I hope they keep it together. They are in the top 5 best cover bands.
