Billy Joel
As far as Im concerned, The Memphis Horns have been and still
are the definitive soul horn section of my generation.
Steve Winwood
Master constructors of modern music as we know it. Incredible melodic
compositional skills combined with the ability to complement any music
they turn their hand to have made Wayne and Andrew the legends they are
now.
Robert Cray
They just have this magic they weave. I dont think theres
any two horn players that blend like those guys do.
