He was playing a Tenor so I did the Alto.
Kinda like in a choir. There's a Bass, Baritone, Alto and Tenor. Each
has
a part of the musical spectrum.
When we acted like a horn section doing a back-up role for the band, I
picked a harmony line and followed his lead.
With all the recent buzz about James Brown's passing, listen to the band
behind him if you want to know how a horn section should be used. Wow, he
really knew how to get the most from the horns.
PEACE

Interesting, Scott, where you said, "Oh, here's a shock. I play
saxophone
too, and know what a horn section
does. And I treated the harp as just another horn."
I don't play sax, and haven't played in a horn section, so I'd like to
hear
just a little more detail about what a horn section does. (Apologies in
advance to others who are horn players.) Thanks!
