Album Notes

The Motor City Horns are among Detroit’s most versatile musicians. Individually, MCH members have worked with a variety of artists, bands, and orchestras including: Justin Timberlake, The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble. As a group, they have joined forces with Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band (2006 – 2007 Face The Promise Tour), as well as Clarence Clemons and the Temple of Soul. Locally they have appeared with The Brothers Groove, Johnnie Bassett and the Blues Insurgents, Thornetta Davis, Root Doctor and Alexander Zonjic. With Zonjic, they have shared the stage and crafted horn arrangements for many well-known jazz artists, including Bob James and Jeff Lorber. Recent CD releases include The Verve Pipe, Ben Cyllus, The TaleGators, Root Doctor, Midtown Underground, Carl Craig and Tribe, bluesman Johnnie Bassett and singer/songwriter Liz Larin. The Motor City Horns are a full service production team, able to assist in any aspect of a live performance or recording project (producing, recording, writing/arranging, etc…)

Showcasing their versatility as a horn section and the musical diversity of Detroit, this CD features 48 musicians (not on the same track!) in a variety of styles including Rock, Pop, R&B, Blues, Funk, Soul, and Jazz. Highlights include Brian Vander Ark from The Verve Pipe and appearances by background singers and sidemen from Bob Seger's Silver Bullet Band and Kid Rock's Twisted Brown Trucker.

Must-Have Music
author: Scott Sparling
                            
Strong "Buy" recommendation. Bob Seger calls the Motor City Horns his "Turbochargers." They're that and more. Local Boys has uptempo numbers, world-beat, blues, even an old Duke Ellington number. A musical feast. Plus, if you buy the physical CD, you get "Lucifer," an amazing track. It's been scorching my speakers for months.
