A Blow For Me, A Toot To You / Say Blow By Blow Backwards
Fred Wesley's trombone became the voice of Parliament-Funkadelic's boldest moments, and this 2002 two-disc set finds him leading an exceptional brass ensemble through deep funk instrumentals. The horn arrangements are intricate and precise—sharp, articulate writing that swings between James Brown-rooted grooves and afro-centric rhythmic structures. Wesley's playing is technical without coldness, inventive within structures that let the ensemble lock tight. Energy throughout is high and purposeful, never sacrificing musicianship for spectacle. These are pure funk brass explorations that reach across decades. Essential for anyone serious about funk instrumental records, P.Funk culture, or seeking proof that brass ensemble funk remains vital. A standout from both Wesley's solo catalogue and the Warner catalog.
