I would have to disagree with the negative comment(s) concerning Carlos Santana. He's not the least bit out of his league. He brought one style into another and if you listen to the changes, he was right there. As a bass player in an extremely hot Gospel R&B Band, I would love to play with Carlos Santana. It's all about merging the styles, folks. We don't have too many real musicians left out there, folks. Enjoy what we still have.

It's a different style that really doesn't fit the band. That doesn't mean it isn't good. But if TOP were looking for a guitar player, and a guy showed up who wasn't Carlos Santana but played that style, he wouldn't be hired.
@VegasAlien13 жыл бұрын
Horn bands Chicago and Earth, Wind and Fire certainly wrote more hits, but TOP's horns can't be topped. The level of talent in this band is through the roof, and even their live shows are tight. One show in Lincolnshire, Illinois was a small room with a low stage. I stood about 15 feet in front of the horns and am now bald. Their dynamics are phenomenal.

What the Tower does is very hard to duplicate and they work hard to keep the standards up. This band has inspired many good musicians to keep playing!

WICKED GROOVE FELLAS.......i SALUTE YOU ALL !!!!!!
Now we're Listening to Music with a Beat n one Bad Ass Guitar Man
En mi Col. Existía en 1968 una banda de rithim ando blues llamada SOUL MÁSTERS el ritmo casi de igual manera que tower ando power la Col Mixcoac en su entorno con otros grupos fueron iniciadores del rock
Bruce Conte is L O C K I N' IT D O W N!!!
add Lenny Pickett and this would set itself on fire-----(could lose Santana though)----
I wonder what it must feel like for someone who is musically inclined who has never heard this band before. If that person had any musical soul in them they would be blown away from what they hear. I remember in the late 70's I would be in Washington DC and the cats there would be blown away from what they were hearing. What the Tower does is very hard to duplicate and they work hard to keep the standards up. This band has inspired many good musicians to keep playing!
Hot groove!!!
How many horn bands can claim to have not just one, but two B3 Virtuosos playing cross-stage AND have Carlos Santana sitting in? Damn what a set.
And STILL not in the Hall of Fame?
SO So GREAT. BEST JIMmy Strassburg
Larry Braggs!!! Knock knock knock knock What!!!
killer RnB music machine
Not Carlos’ genre. He is a legend though!!
❤
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️
dont forget Tommy Coster another forgotten soul he is stiil Kicking Ass
We do not say anything about Santana because of his career, but if his name was Juan Perez, we would recommend that you go to study or dedicate yourself to another activity linked to the music industry, businessman, producer. In this context it is evident
Yup
