Jazzcat Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 The Buckinghams "Kind of A Drag" "Susan" rtstuff Interestingly the guys in Chicago said that they were inspired by the Buckinghams who were another Chicago area group as were the Ides of March, New Colony Six, Chase, and Rotary Connection who all used horns in their recordings. I suspect the heavy influence of soul, blues, and jazz in the Chicago music scene all helped to contribute to the horn sound that these groups adopted. Even though I'm Chicago born I have to give props to the hardest hitting horn band ever Tower of Power especially on "What Is Hip". Also not mentioned yet was Cold Blood with the great Lydia Pence shoutin it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzcat Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Another good one just came to mind. Electric Flag. Killing Floor and Groovin' Is Easy were a couple favorites of me and my buddies at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMAC Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Some great stuff mentioned above. I have always loved Chicago and Blood Sweat & Tears. In addition, I always thought the horn section on "The Cheater" by Bob Kuban & the In-men was great. Ditto for the horns on "Hawaii Five-o" by The Ventures. Gotta agree with the above statement about "Peter Gunn" being thr greatest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinlaker Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Thanks for mentioning the great band Chase, Jazzcat! One of my favorites - so sadly taken from us in that plane crash! Anybody have any memories of Chase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Jane 61 Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Check out "One Night Stand" by Janis. She is in great voice and is backed by The Butterfield Blues Band. It is rock/funk/blues and the horns are right for the song. It can be found on her "Farewell Song" album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Jane 61 Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Wait For Me ~ Susan Tedschi This tune starts out slow and bluesy. And the song builds with the vocals, horns come in and take the song to a funky blues arrangement. Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcelona Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 (edited) The horns on most of Phil Collins' album "Face Value" are fabulous! Specifically "Behind the Lines"; "I Missed Again" and the intro to "If Leaving Me Is Easy". A truly underrated album- yes- I said it!!! An additional note: "Face Value"'s backup musicians are the Earth, Wind and Fire horn section.... Edited July 27, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Any song where Clarence Clemons, the enormoussax player for the E Street Band, gets to do his thing is freaking sweet. Example: "Jungleland". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzcat Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Regarding memories of the group "Chase". They were a favorite of ours in the Chicago area and my buddies and I went to see them perform every chance we got. Bill Chase had great jazz credentials and was lead trumpet in Woody Herman's big band for some time. Chase was managed by the same firm that handled the Ides of March (Vehicle) and Jim Peterik of the Ides wrote or co-wrote some of the songs on what I believe was the final Chase album. The group itself was very tight and of course the interesting thing is that the horn section was four trumpets. This was a different twist from standard horn combination of trumpet,sax, and trombone. It sure gave them a very distinctive sound and every one of those guys could absolutely scream on the horn. It was quite a shock when the accident happened.

Sweet Jane 61 Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Check out "Rebels" from Tom Petty, it is the first time he used a horn section in a song. I like the song, it has some R&B feel to it also. Best version in the live one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Yes bringing this thread back to life. Other than New York State of Mind from Billy Joel, can anyone think of some other tunes from him with horns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Thanks Jenny! I need songs for my show on Friday, it's about songs with great rockin' horns. I like Billy but not a big fan and I know he has a sax player in his band. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
