Regarding the flugelhorn in the Jerry Hey chart; I read somewhere (may have been an interview with Jerry Hey, or perhaps Chuck Findley) that on these high, funky, trumpet-heavy tracks they used to set the tape to half speed (after tracking the main parts), and double the trumpet parts with flugelhorns (at half the tempo and one octave down, obviously). Then, when setting the tape back to normal speed, the result was these amazingly FAT sounding, yet super high pitched, trumpets. I really wanna try that some time... Great episode, guys! Keep it up!

The first two Chicago albums slap so *hard*. Make Me Smile is a banger, sang and written by Kath (who had an incredible Baritone voice).

Kath was the soul of Chicago, as evidenced by their albums with Cetera leading. Questions 67 & 68, Dialogue Parts I & II and of course Beginnings are amazing horn tunes (and there are so so so many more) - but nothing really hits like 25 or 6 to 4.

Manu’s most viewed live version of Soul Makossa was filmed in Puerto Rico, just about 3-4 miles from where I’m writing this… with the Fania All Stars as a backing band…. and the FAS was one monster of a lineup. I suspect that Barry Rogers and Jose Rodrigues (sic) were there, Victor Paz, Lawrence Khan, Reinaldo Jorge… maybe Willie Colón… plus Manu himself, of course.

@iamkamauDET 2 года назад

I submit to you that Michael Jackson’s “Burn This Disco Out” is the best representation of a horn section on an R and B song! That horn section on their own planet! I literally visualize them having a boss attitude while they were recording this, like they just sit down and chill out after that smacking horn intro, they they get up and let us have it around the bridge and song ending sections. And they just KNOW they’re killing it! *and they are*

@matthewallen1834 Год назад

Yall hit it on the head. Wanna Be Startin Somethin has hooks for DAYS! The bass hook, the horn lines, and MJ has several vocal hooks. In fact, all of "Thriller" is a hook clinic.

SO happy you guys covered 26 or 6 to four. That song doesnt get enough credit for how epic it is. There is a great documentary on youtube for free about Chicago and Terry Kath.

@briankays2635 2 года назад

The thing that struck me when focusing on the horn lines was how horn-like Michael's vocal phrasing is throughout the song. His use of sax phrasing is perhaps why he's not getting overpowered by the horns - because he's part of them. Anyone else feel that?

@cooldebt 2 года назад

Great observation eg. 'I took my baby to the doctor' 💯 could be a horn scat (I hear it as not really a melody because it's not that singable)

@edhornby4885 2 года назад

Horn arrangements written by a singer just scatting the rhythm to give their idea of what they want is not uncommon, MJ would do this as would James Brown etc. Its usually the really clipped stuff as that's what singers think horns do :-)

@guitarelaxed 2 года назад

My favorite horn lines are on Al Jarreau´s self titled record, particularly "Black and blues", "Step by step" and "love is waiting" all arranged by Jerry Hey and played by him and his horn section (Seawind Horns, same personel as on "wanna be starting something"). I read in an interview that his approach on arranging for Al Jarreau and Michael Jackson was completely different, mainly because Michael´s voice is much softer and higher than Al´s. On the Al Jarreau record the horns have such a prominent role and completely take over in the outros of the up tempo songs, while on "Off the wall" and "Thriller" the horns are way more sparse and simpler (maybe except for "Burn this disco out" and the title song of "Thriller"). (Oh, how could I forget "Boogie down"???)

@BassByTheBay 2 года назад

"Magic Mind" by Earth, Wind & Fire. If you listen to nothing else in that song, at least listen to the breakdown at 2:57, and marvel at EW&F's mastery. Then there's "Getaway". Less flashy but still very cool is "Jupiter". You could easily do a video just on EW&F's horns which set a new standard in the '70s. As for Michael, "Working Day and Night" is amongst his (well, Quincy's) best horns. The saddest thing about the '80s was the fact that synths basically killed the horn section.

@larrywilliams5778 Месяц назад

You guys make some very good points about "Wanna Be Startin'" horns. And thanks for crediting us which doesn't always happen lol. Jerry told me he and Michael each contribute about 50% of the writing, which was not normally the case- Jerry did the bulk of it on most of the MJ tracks. One minor quibble- yes Bruce (Swedien, greatest horn engineer or just pop engineer ever) got the best sound out of our section- a unique combination of perfect balance, incredible mics that only he touched and great rooms and studio gear. The horn level in this track is hotter than many as it's such an integral part of the tune as you said, That one vocal line that you were discussing as ducking Michael's lead- I think it's more of a function of Michael's vocal tailing off and Jerry dovetailed the horn line right out of it. Not actually any ducking IMHO. Also, remember this all these and other MJ parts were done with no Pro Tools and often 3-5 minute vamps we played all the way out. That'll keep you on your toes. And one last thing- Jerry is alive and well, still arranging but not playing trumpet, Kim, Bill and myself (I was featured tenor sax soloist at the Hollywood Bowl last summer for Quincy's 90th Birthday Celebration) are still playing and recording. Gary Grant left us last month after a battle with cancer. Thanks again for the thoughtful discussion. Larry Williams

@timrizzo3941 5 месяцев назад

Just happened across this and really enjoyed the discussion. The comment on Pankow's influence on Chicago's distinctive horn sound is really astute and something that has never occurred to me. As for Terry and the horn section stepping on each other, I think to some degree his guitar sound doesn't have a ton of high mid content which would allow the brightness of the horns to really come through and kind of share space that way, though it sure is pretty dense at times.

I would give anything to be in a position where these guys would joyfully geek out about my music

I can't believe Uptown Funk has dubstep concepts. That is absolutely amazing.

Chicago’s “Saturday in the Park” concert (September 24, 1977) at Soldiers Field found my friends & I (band geeks all) on the 50yd line. An A-MA-ZING concert! Would turn out to be Kath’a final performance in the city of Chicago. (While Kath’s death was unintentional, it was self-inflicted and had nothing to do with cleaning.)
