Brass Is New Deal In Music
Associate Press writer Josp Mills notes a brass emphasis shaping pop and blues acts. Janis Joplin ends Big Brother with a four-piece brass section, Blood, Sweat & Tears tops LPs with a four-man brass core, and Paul Butterfield Blues Band evolves into a brassy Chicago blues ensemble highlighted by Butterfield’s harmonica. The piece praises brass as a unifying foundation, cites live Fillmore East shows, and mentions Junior Wells and Buddy Guy, whose Vanguard album underscores roots influences and horn-driven texture.
