Kia ora, to mark the three week countdown for SLO MO vinyl Drop on 25 Oct, we’ve got a series of behind the scenes stories to share. Here’s Entry #1 of CHOPPER’S BLOGs by Chopper Reeds aka Scott Towers.
CHOPPER’S BLOGs: HORN BLAST
In the studio tracking horns for the last few days. It's been a while since we had all three of us in the booth together and the creative juices are flowing - Clubba Laing has been leading the charge developing our 'rude boy' sound on a new steppers tune. And then Hopepa caps things off with a few passes at the tune that evokes the spirit of the late great Rico Rodriquez on ‘bone'. Meanwhile I've been looking at a few new (old - as in vintage) horns - I'll give you an update if anything comes to pass on that front.
Essential Rico for your listening pleasure:
Man From Wareika - Rico Rodriquez (1976 / Island)
The Specials - The Specials (1979 / Chrysalis)
Jama Rico - Rico Rodriquez (1982 / Two-Tone)
