Great horn sections.

[andysays]

The Charles Mingus horn section on Mingus Ah Um is pretty great, both as individual players and collectively.

The opening track has John Handy, alto sax; Booker Ervin, tenor sax; Shafi Hadi, alto sax; Jimmy Knepper, trombone.

Older posters might remember Colosseum with the great Dick Heckstall-Smith:

heard something late last night on a reggae podcast that would have been ideal for this thread, but there wasn't a track listing

bugger

 

[pseudonarcissus]

it's alright with me

 

[Orang Utan]

Fat Freddy’s Drop have an awesome brass section. The best I’ve seen live. The trombonist has such elan in a hip hop style. Always looks as baked as fuck but always brings the good despite appearances

Saw this lot play a few years back, a brilliant ear-rattling racket. How the sousaphone player keeps going for a two hour gig with that fucking great heavy thing round his neck I don't know.

Some quality tunes on this thread guys. Absolute gold.

On the Sean Kuti vid, I'm always drawn into the chemistry between the centre percussionist and the guitarist. I often wonder what is going on in their heads.

Orang Utan I can't seem to tag you but fat Freddy's are playing the apollo 6th July. Definitely not a show to be missed. I'm off to the Birmingham gig

 

[The39thStep]

Fair bit of brass on this version of One More Red Nightmare ( violin part is good as well)

 

[Maggot]

First thing that came to mind.

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

I'd love to pollute the thread with all the horn action going on in Cate Le Bon's songs but I'll stick to my favourite
