I believe these are the Mills Brothers. As I recall they were from the Midwest.

I liked their early stuff the best. They could emulate horns etc. wonderfully.

My son did a search when he heard an old clip of these guys on a commercial. Amazing talent. Take the time to enjoy all their clips. You'll be glad you did.

I especially enjoy the guy doing the hand cupping techniques at 1:47-2:26

Just remember, if your reeds go out on you during a show, you can always fake it. Take a lesson from this guy, cupping empty hands, and playing "trumpet".

Also, check out the "break dancing" at 1:20. There's nothing new under the sun,,

Just before the end,,is that Taj Mahal, or Danny Glover?
