This could be fun ...

We all know Mr. Dynamite James Brown had the hottest show in town with his Revue of band members, singers and what not. Sso everyone, use your music knowledge and try to recreate the James Brown Band. But here is the thing, you can't use any of his former band members. So know Maceo, Fred, Pee-Wee, Bobby, Clyde, Bootsy, Cheech, ect. You gotta use other musicians to back of the Godfather of Soul.


The Famous Flames
-johnny gill
-anthony hamilton
-stokley

The James Brown Orchestra (The J.B.'s)
-Drums:omar hakim
-Drums:steve ferrone
-Lead Guitar: Prince
-Rhythm Guitar: nile rodgers
-Bass Guitar: meshell nedegeocello
-Organ/Keyboard:steve winwood
-Congas:cindy blackman
-Saxophone:david sanborn
-Saxophone: jerry martini
-Trumpet:cynthia robinson
-Trumpet:roger ball
-Trombone: "blue" lou marini
-Trombone:steven "doc" krupka

Rather than simply pick my favorite players, these are a few of the musicians that I believe would be able to interpret the style proplerly and actually play together without incident. I also stuck with cats that i'm pretty sure are still alive.
