JSngry Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Also a crucial part of the Malaco Southern Soul-Blues renaissance of the late 70s and onward, just an incredibly prolific arranger on those records. There was a formula, definitely, and it was not a particularly difficult or broad one, but it worked not just as far as creating an immediately recognizable sound, but also in being easily replicated by local live bands playing the Chitlin' Circuit of the day. almost all of the songs on those records had horn parts as part of the sound, and I can't tell you how many $30 gigs I worked playing them (or how many times I got called to transpose them for the bands that didn't have regular horn players who could work it out by ear). Malaco put out a LOT of records there for a while, and if Harrison Calloway didn't participate in all of them, it sure seemed that he did. RIP, and good job, sir!
