| I would just add that in a pop/rock/funk setting what is really different is articulation, much more accented, shorter, rhythmic. The beat is more heavily defined and your articulation has to be able to match it. Horn sections in that kind of music have the basic function of providing another layer of rhythm. You'll notice you don't play a lot of long melodies, the parts tend to be short and punchy. Same basic idea with salsa and latin music.
Michael McLaughlin
