Did anyone mention the Fred Wesley and the horny horns albums.
I listened to Blow By Blow Backwards last night, its funkier than I remember.

Most excellent, great to use to improvise to (well try to in my case), very

Even the second to last track, the grooving bass, slow sexy sax and

Totally agree, but are there any bad albums involving Maceo, Fred Wesley and
Pee Wee Ellis, I haven't found one, yet (and don't think I will)!
