Rock Bands with Horns!

[magnus]

yeah, they did cut the cake in addition to their

I didn't know we were adding ska and swing bands. We can pretty much include all of them by definition.

Prince...Maceo, Candy Dulfer, Najee, you can do worse than work with Prince but they hold their own.

'Pick Up the Pieces' is the AWB tune you'll hear on the radio more often than not.

I like some of the old Stevie Wonder songs with horns - 'Sir Duke' comes to mind.

And, of course, 'Superstitious'.

Don't recall the "cake" tune.
I believe their biggie was "Pick Up The Pieces."
They impressed me, also, by making a distinction between a
bass guitar and an electric bass on their liner notes.

Also: Would/was Chuck[macoroni]Mangione considered to be in this realm?
I know he wasn't/isn't pop, but he crossed over into that audience appeal. I liked his group in the early days when
Gary Niewood[sp]was with the group.

AWB's best album I think was School Boy Crush Live. Pick up the Pieces is more like a jam session. Then they do one of the most recorded songs ever better than say...everybody BUT Marvin Gaye...I Heard it through the Grape Vine. Oh man, now I'm jammin'

Hey, I saw Paul Simon in concert, great show by the way, and he had some horns. A lotta drums too!

 

[jazzredcat]

Although he may be considered an act "unto himself,"
Micheal Franks used horns very often.:firedevil

I ahve a song ...Trey Anastasio - Burlap Sack and Pumps - good horn stuff. The thing is, I don't know what or why this was put out or what it relates to. Trey has Phish and Oysterhead - what's this he's doing and when did he do it?
