  • The legendary Tower of Power Horns!
    Thank you Sirs Emilio, Doc, Sal, Adolfo for taking time out of your busy schedules to share your stories, talent, and words of wisdom. A big fan myself, it was great to meet you all along with my son who was truly inspired especially by Mr. Tom Politzer’s Custom Z! 😊 You truly are the tightest band in the land. 🎷
    Thank you also to Allegro Music in Fremont, CA for hosting the event.

    Sometime in the 1970s Downbeat Magazine did a story about the TOP horn section. The gist of it was that the horn section was so tight, that if you sent them to 5 different hotel rooms in 5 different hotels, and sent them to bed, THEY’D STILL BE BREATHING TOGETHER. I would add that this is as true for this current line-up with Adolfo, Sal, Doc. Big Love & Mimi as it was for Greg, Mic, Doc, LP & Mimi back in the day. Great players, great charts, great songs, great band!🎺🎺🎷🎷🎷

    These guys are so tight, that you can basically feel the implied groove of the snare and kick drum just from horns’ pocket.

    Man, the intricate brass compositions are mind blowing! And they play so in time that it sounds like one player. This is what TIGHT sounds like. No one like them. And when you add the rest of the superb members... you get the most funkiest bands ever.
    My all time favorite!!!

    Unique. TH-cam needs more videos analyzing how bands get there sound...in my opinion. Even without the rhythm section these guys are tight and sound good! Wow! Love it.
    I assume it’s a Master Class?

      Sorry for the late response. No sense wasting time trying to figure out how bands like this get their sound. They get their sound from God and kicking it since 1968. As for a Master Class...don't make me laugh

      Their horns in the 70s were not on par with the TOP horns. And, don't get me wrong, EWF is my favorite music group.
