The Baddest Horn section? I thought it was time to ask this again, after checking out some recent threads on these groups....Who had the truly Kick-ass horn/brass section? Tower Of Power, Parliament/ Horny Horns, Earth Wind And Fire, Chicago, Ohio Players, Kool and The Gang, Blood Sweat and Tears, Prince/ Madhouse/ Hornheadz, etc? - Which ones were/are your favorite(s)?

Madhouse.
Also, ANYONE that can actually diss the Madhouse horns doesn't know their brass. Period. "Free yo mind and yo ass will follow" - George Clinton | |

Maceo´s band.
Prince NPG not neccessarly in this order. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

For me, the JB's/Horny Horns are unsurpassed. Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker together at their peak, are you freakin' kidding me?! Not yet mentioned but worth some consideration are the P-Funk Horns featuring Greg Boyer. They succeeded the Horny Horns and could blow in their own right.
Peace, Scott If you've got funk, you've got style. | |
