The touring band didn’t have horns unless you’re counting Kofi playing flute occasionally @Jett129 ? It was just drums, keys, bass, guitar, volcals, percussion.
You could be thinking of a specific show with sit-ins or Tedeschi Trucks Band, which pales by comparison to DTB.
Here some more

Speaking of slides, one of my favorite string players of all time id David Lindley. He plays just about anything with strings, from Hawaiian lap steel to bouzouki to violin. A very fun live show if you get the chance.
Unfortunately, he is very guarded about recordings of his live performances and distribution of his published material. It's a huge shame, because, for example, the albums he put out with Wally Ingram, the great drummer featured below, are not available on streaming services, but so so good--hard to find, but worth the effort. Most of what you can hear of his on the streaming services is via his long-standing partnership with Jackson Browne. The live duo album they released recently has some good stuff, even his own songs and vocals.

100 on all that. His backing vocals were great too on there. I suppose this is coming to an album soon, so very excited about that!

The album from those sessions is called “Somethin’ Else” and was released under Cannonball Adderly’s name if anyone wants to hear more of what @goosehd posted. Also Miles’ famous “Kind of Blue” was from this period.
Can’t recommend Miles’ autobiography “Miles” enough either. I can’t help but hear his raspy voice narrating when I read it.

Who wants to play a music league? It’s very fun. The way it works is we come up with themes, and league members submit songs in line with the themes, then vote on the anonymous submissions. After all the rounds are completed, the person with the most points wins. It’s a great way to discover music.
More info here: https://musicleague.com/
If folks want to do this I will start a thread for it and we can propose and vote on the themes for each round of the tournament.
I’m currently doing this with friends and it is a ton of fun.

You do need a Spotify account but a free one works. I’ll have to sign up myself as I’ve been using a friends on the other one.
I’ll get this rolling over the weekend! Stay tuned.
