from horn rock heaven's myspace page:

We have created this site and are writing a book about horn rock bands in order to recognize an often overlooked, but very important and influential genre of music. Horn rock bands existed primarily between 1966-1976, although you can feel in the influence of its performers, producers and writers, whether you're listening to the Saturday Night Live band go to commercial break or hear a sample in the 50 Cent hip hop song. No one has yet to compile, research and detail the horn rock genre...until now.

trumpeter/arranger charles moore once talked about how incredible it was to work with the mc5 on "skunk," saying, "this was way before Chicago."

it wasn't, but was definitely far more convincing and far less forced than Chicago.

Elephant's Memory/Plastic Ono Band on Lennon's Sometime in New York City. "Woman is the Nigger of the World," for instance. Seems to have made an impression on the Eighties Saturday Night Live band.

mentioned in a recent blog post of mine:

"Brass Rock: A genre that mostly exists so I can easily locate "Kure v Hodenach" by Flamengo, a record I remember mostly as "that really amazingly good brass rock record from somewhere in Eastern Europe, sometime in the '70s". Tower of Power's set closing out the Fillmore East in 1971 is also present."
