Brassed off - your favourite songs that include horns

[hfuhruhurr]

Difficult to pick one of Beefheart's

 

[eFestivals]

Loads of great horns in reggae. Here's some of the best.

One of my favourite memories from my last Glastonbury is the hottest gig I've ever experienced at Avalon to this wonderful bunch. This song got me through lockdown 1 as well.

Whereas this is one of my favourite sad songs 

[kalifire]

Eric Marienthal’s two sax solos here are ace.

 

[Kalopsia]

This comes to mind, wait till the 6 minute mark.

Lovely song by Love

Alternatively, for a more gentle approach.

In my opinion one of the best singles ever. This on one side and Strawberry Fields on the other.

Brass Against are awesome, they describe themselves as "horny metal". The mostly do covers but they are fucking good covers though!

 

[kalifire]

My favourite piece of music from Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band, and one of my favourite pieces of music of all time. Absolutely sublime from start to finish. Dem horns!

Need to drop this one in as well. Young ska band from London, been around a few years now. Saw them do this one in Croissant Neuf at about 1am on a Sunday / Monday. Great horn section, trombone player's bloody good.

 

[Cherry Tree]

Proper Horn sections not just a saxophone solo.

Here it is, the playlist nobody asked for but everyone’s getting. 
I added all the recommendations in the thread, bar 1 or 2 I couldn't find a version of on Spotify. 
More recommendations welcome and I’ll add them on the playlist. 
This is going to soundtrack my Monday of working on the campervan.

Yep one of my faves too, just wish the horn solo went on another 30secs.

Hazels "Will you", also a timeless classic.

And while we're talking great horn stuff, most of Divine Comedys songs.

Also, probably more where this should have gone...always been a massive fan of this one...

 

That is absolutely brilliant, so funky, and I'm sure it was a soundtrack to a 70's Danish film I saw once.

It was decades after buying the Cure's "Head on the Door", first on cassette and then on CD, that a trumpet player pointed out to me the single version of Close to You, which has a horn section I was utterly unaware of that's not on the album version.

Sad news that Bennie Pete, the co-founder and sousaphone player of the Hot 8 Brass Band, passed away yesterday.
