  F*ck the bass, when the horns kicked in I was away with it, had to dance. Not a pretty sight!

  All depends on the track...if it's James Brown, or Wilson Pickett, or the Crusaders in this case, the horns are tight and punchy, and bobbing and weaving like a boxer...part of the weave of the overall rhythm.  If it's a big band, like Glenn Miller, couples are moving and swaying to the horn waves.

  So yeah, dancing to horns is pretty common.

  In those circumstances dancing to and with a horn is common amongst men.

  Damn! Yes!

  You get it!

  Waves. WAVES!!! It's what the brass section does. Waves of beauty creating layers of pumping foot-stomping excitement!

  Playing guitar over that is a total privilege and like snorting...never mind.

  Peter, indeed it is what the brass section does...of course it doesn't hurt to have Gene Krupa pounding the skins.  Case in point:
