Influences: the great horn bands of the sixties and seventies.. jazz group the brecker bros.. paul butterfield blues band, tower of power, blood sweat and tears.. buddy miles express,lydia pense and cold blood.. and the great sly and the family stone.. and dont forget the great funk horn bands including graham central station.. my blues influences also go back to all the greats from bygone days.. but in the blues genre my happening thing is all the electric blues cats that are good friends of mine -- coco montoya,walter trout,michael burks, tinsley ellis, and many others..
Sounds Like: many fine horn bands but with a fire that alot of bands don,t have and great vocals and dynamics.. its one thing to have a great horn band but to have four really good vocalists in a band is something most folks dont have.. i can proudly say i do..
