Horn Bands

The other night I was listening to Bob Dorr on KUNI and he was mentioning that he had done a feature on Horn Bands but he had left this classic off of his list:

I have always liked bands with big horn sections and big jazz bands.  I don’t know where I gained this love of jazz or rock bands.  It wasn’t from my parents.  The only record I remember them playing was by Whoopie John (Whoopie John Wihlfahrt and his band will play).  For those of you that may have missed Whoopie John here is a sample:

Well, enough of that…reminds me of Leo Greco, George Patrick and Carma Lou on Sunday morning KCRG radio.

So here are a couple of other classics by rock powerhouses:

And, perhaps the greatest horn band song of all time, back when Chicago Transit Authority had brass, not that girly “Color My World” stuff:

I gotta go….get it on, get it on, get it on the morning, girl!
