The Funkadelic horn section mutinied and took over?

I wanted to run away from home and join EWF, it looks like Roy had the same kind of dream

Now, ya see, Wilmer...

... for me, that clip TOTALLY makes the case against rap. That little bit of video has more to offer than anything I've ever seen from the rap crowd. It has energy, rhythm, the groove, creativity, and you can't take your eyes off it. Veritable booty-shaking material, that.

That was great... thanks for putting that up. I wish we could get more kids involved in that instead of the usual you see these days.

I have seen the RH factor live twice so far. They are by far the most incredible, energetic exciting band I have ever seen. There was one point in one of the concerts where Roy was playing a solo on this tune from their first record (the one where it starts off minor, then half way through builds to major and gets really bluesy) and I felt like I was in the middle of a huge church congregation. Everyone was on their feet yelling Amen and the like and he built and built and built until he exploded into this super dirty blues solo for the major section. I don't think there was a single person in the audience who wasn't touched emotionally by the performance.
The first time RH factor played the Toronto Jazz Festival he played for free to close the festival. It was packed.

I can always appreciate a real funky bass player like that. And you can tell those guys are having a blast up there. Guess that's why we do what we do!

I am pretty sure he plays an Inderbinden for both trumpet and flugel

Before EWF,I picture you running away to NJ to join KOOL & THE GANG.
Robert 'Spike' Mickens added some dirty funk to the band.

Did you ever play with Langston Fitzgerald. I studied with him for two years after you left Morgan State. The thought of you two heavy weights in the same section.

I like Roy Hargrove's playing. Nobody quite sounds like he does. Few times I went to see him he was so inebriated he could barely stand up on his own. While back I did a gig with him in a student group and he kept trying to score weed from some of the kids. Heard it with my own ears. No joke. I hope he straigtened up his act.
