If you want your horn with lots of plugged in effects, check out these two releases by Darren Barrett. A throwback to the days of The Headhunters or electronic Miles, the two albums have almost the same members, just differing in the number of guests.
The first one has Barrett with Santiago Bosch-Warren Pettey/key, Jeffrey Lockhart/g, Youngchae Jeong-Paul Reinhold-Ciara Moser/b, Julian Miltenberger/dr and Judith Soberanes/perc. There’s a lot of quacking horns and thick keys on pieces like “ The Clave Is In Order” and “DSYWJ”, with a lot of wacka wooka on the funky title tune, with the album closing with an Afro Sheen of “We Out No Doubt”
The more stripped down team of just Bosch, Pettey, Jeong, Miltenberger and Sobranes get into the space effects on “The Path To Our Truth” and “Follow Me In The Search Of”. Barrett’s horn erupts on a Sly Stone-ish “Walking On Driftwood” and wah wah Watsons on “As We Seek For The Sun Together”. Wide wail chords.
