HORNS make bands sound BETTER!



.trumpet.maybe some tromboneKlezmer, experimental jazz fusion (ERBAMATE), heavy rock (YELLA BELLY SAB SUCKERS), Hip-Hop/Rap/Funk/R&B (MIKE TRUTH & THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS), rock/funk (DAVES NOT HERE), Western Swing/Honky Tonk (TEXAS SWING DEMONS, GINA LEE & the BRISKET BOYS), powerpop (THE GLASS FAMILY), alt/country/rock (THE MOTHER TRUCKERS), Reggae (Kris Brown's FAMILY SAUCE (now MR. BROWN), Cajun Style (PONTY BONE & THE SQUEEZETONES), post-modern folk with GARRETH BROESCHE and others (BEN BELL & the STARDUST BOYS, the PINEBOX RAMBLERS with the TRIGGERMEN HORNS), your ever-so-basic garden variety cover bands (those days are OVER), the ballsy sound of horn-loaded Texas Roadhouse Blues (Dennis Maroney's LOOSE SHOES Blues Band), WAYNE "THE TRAIN" HANCOCK, SWEET POTATO PIE, and BRYCE CLIFFORD. I've had great pleasure recording with such talents as PONTY BONE, SPENCER GIBB & 54 SECONDS, CHADD THOMAS & THE CRAZY KINGS, KORY SIMEONE, FEATHERWEIGHT BURDEN, THE UNBEARABLES, PEEL, The GOLDEN APPLES, KEVIN CARROLL, guitar phenom KAZKI, SAM LIPMAN and HIS band THE HANDSOME CHARLIES, MICHAEL LINDNER & MOVING BLUES, Kris Browns FAMILY SAUCE/MR. BROWN/DUB KIDS, RICHARD CROSS, the Latin rock of BOCASTRIA, the Latin Jam Band EL TULE, the Fabulous Swamp Pop San Antonio/Chicano Soul/Gulf Coast Sound of the GREAT LARRY LANGE & HIS LONELY KNIGHTS, and just a bucket full of other great musicians and engineers/producers (TOMMY SPURLOCK, BILLY HORTON, RICK DELILLIS of FIGMENT STUDIOS, RON FLYNT of JUMPING DOG STUDIOS, MIKE MARICONDA, ROB HINTON, BILLY HARVEY, DAVE McNAIR, JIM VOLENTINE, ERIK WOFFORD, etc). Basically it is a well know fact that HORNS DO MAKE BANDS SOUND BETTER.
Versatility is everything.
Learn your instrument.
Improvise as if your life depends on it.
Bebop is, and I have been blessed to have spent valuable time over the years with my mentors in jazz; CONTE CANDOLI and BOBBY SHEW.
Be Well, do good work, and stay in touch.
