Some others I enjoy include:<br /><br />Chase - Scored a hit with <i>Get It On</i> but their success was short lived when 4 of the bandmembers were killed in a 1974 plane crash.<br /><br />Tower of Power - A bit more soul and funk oriented than many of their horn band contemporaries but they released many excellent albums as well.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.genyaravan.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=22&Itemid=17" rel="nofollow">Ten Wheel Drive with Genya Revan</a> - This is one I only learned of recently. I checked out some of their material online and found it thoroughly enjoyable.<br /><br />The Electric Flag - Late virtuoso guitarist Mike Bloomfield's short lived attempt at a horn band. While the Electric Flag only spawned 3 albums (one of which was a score/soundtrack to the 1967 movie, <i>The Trip</i>). A bit more blues-oriented than Chicago, BS&T, or Tower of Power. Bloomfield was better known for his musical collaborations with Al Kooper, and for being the guitarist for the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. The Electric Flag married many of Bloomfields influences together.<br /><br />Hunters & Collectors - Australian horn band from 1980-1998. They were known more known for their tight driving rhythm section that put more focus on bass & drums than on guitar than they were for their horn section. The horns, while not as prominently featured in the music as in other horn bands provided a musical canvas for the rhythm section to "paint on." Most songs dealt with gender differences and they were pub rock favorites throughout the duration of the band's history.Perplexiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971805688658949769noreply@blogger.com
