Today I spend more time on a 3-piece horn section instead of running a 6-8 piece band. It's easier and we can also play with more bands. Still playing blues (B.B. King, Albert King, SRV ....), oldtime R&B (The Markeys, King Curtis, Big Joe Truner.....), soul (Wilson Pickett, Jr Walker, The Tempations .....), rock ( J.J. Cale, Chuck Berry, Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Van Morrison ....). We are 5 persons to run a "3-horn section"! Two are tenor/bari players, one guy is on trumpet/tenor/bari player. Two are just playing tenor or trumpet. If everyone can make it, we double trumpet or tenor parts. We are just playing for fun and glad if we can cover the cost for gas. So it's an a real amatuer level. We try to add two new songs every month. Last month it was "Real, Real Gone" (Van Morrison) and "You Left the Water Runnin'" (Huey Lewis version).
