When I figure out how to find “ Brass Kicks”. I will check it out. Assistance?

Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass. First band to have own TV Specials circa the 60's. I am a Salsero so all Salsa Bands use Brass. The one and only Tito Puente. Good choice for a group here. Let us not forget.... Blood Sweat & Tears, Chicago and Chase. I am pretty enlarged on my musical taste so... Sly & The Family Stone and James Brown.

EWF, TOP, PFunk. Awesome!

Yes. Tower of Power, PFunk, any good Salsa/Latin Jazz group (pick one), etc.

my ears are very sensitive to high pitches, don't like most white female singers for this reason! Deep soulful voices and tenor sax soothe my soul.

Yes.
If I like it I like it no matter the style or instrumentation.
And oh funk me. Nothing makes me move like a nasty funk groove.
Mothership Connection.
. Came across Max Sedgleys 'happy' a while back. I think it's all generated but damn...that's funky.

We had a local band that featured guys playing at least 8 types of horns, now broken up.....so fabulous!

Seawind, Muscle Shoals, Maceo Parker! Tell me, tell me, what is hip?

Oh yeah earth wind and fire love blues jazz too
