Tower Of Power: Pro Blowing Section

Michael Goldberg, Downbeat, February 1980

THE BASIC tracks were cut in Atlanta, Georgia. The strings were arranged and overdubbed by Gene Page, and Melissa Manchester put down the lead vocal tracks in an L.A. studio. In Sausalito, California, five men in the Record Plant's Studio B added the unique ensemble horn sound which has gained them recognition around the world as the lower of Power Horn Section. (The album, Melissa Manchester, is out now.)
