9:30 Coffee Break: Hot Brass
by Jill Riley and Sean McPherson
March 31, 2015
Earlier this morning, our trivia topic was big bands, a subject selected in honor of Stevie Wonder's touring ensemble. What's more, the trivia theme music is "Spanish Flea" by Herb Alpert — who just so happens to be celebrating his 80th birthday today!
This got us thinking about songs that feature a brass section or a sizzling horn solo.
So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs that feature some hot brass do you want to hear? Send us your requests.
Songs Played
Fishbone - "Everyday Sunshine"
Otis Redding - "I Can't Turn You Loose"
The Budos Band - "The Sticks"
Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass - "Green Peppers"
Tower of Power - "What is Hip"
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - "The Impression That I Get"
