Hi,
I am new to this forum and this is my first post, apologies if it is in the wrong place or something else is wrong.

I have recently been asked to play horn parts for a cover band of "The Clash" who want to play songs from the album "London Calling." I have agreed to do it however I am the only horn part and there is only one of me. After listening to the songs it is mainly just stabs and swells with a few solos. I have looked for sheet music or any guide to what to play apart from just guessing along to the recordings which hasn't proved very successful. The only notation I can find is guitar tabs which are also rather unhelpful. Any tips or people who have found themselves in a similar situation?
Thanks
-Matt
 
You have no choice - listen to the songs and play what you think sounds right. No one is ever going to know if you play something slightly differently. If you thought you were playing the right thing, they definitely will.

It won't take that long to work out your parts. Honestly.
