Chicago Horns: "Naked in the Garden of Allah" session

  • ABOUT THIS VIDEO: During Chicago's summer 2013 tour, Robert Lamm asked collaborator Trent Gardner (Magellan) to write a horn arrangement for "Naked in the Garden of Allah" (Lamm/Linderman Chicago single) as the prog rock nature of the bridge section was "right in Gardner's wheelhouse", according to Lamm. Once the chart was completed, it was emailed to the band. The Chicago horns spent a "day off", between shows, rehearsing and recording the parts with Robert Lamm and Hank Linderman. This video shows a few clips from their session. For those who have the full track to listen to, it may be of interest, at least to some musicians following the band, to SEE THE WRITTEN CHART -posted as reference...all three parts -Trombone, Alto Sax, Trumpet. www.chicagotheband.com/ngahorn... Due to the angular and intense nature of the section, it helps bring context to the lyrics and the "east vs west" clash in the song's sub text. The mic from the video camera supplies the audio, so the viewer can't "hear what the band can" in headphones, but the general sense of "how parts evolve into refined works" accurately represents what the band has done for so long...work it! Notice the lack of synths and samplers? Actual air moving thru real instruments...

    Kicks ass. The "grease" is still there. This tune is edgy, eerie, and experimental--pure Lamm. Kudos to Trent Gardner for adding a great horn chart, plus the CHI horns for being able to play it.

      @jml-rj5re 6 лет назад

      The horns are SMOKIN' throughout Now. The entire album is a real organic mix... Free at Last and Allah are my favorites and stand up with the best of the Chicago recordings. The album is not so much back to the roots. but recapturing that edgy attitude that made Chicago great. Lamm seemed truly invigorated, too.
      This is one nasty (good) and challenging chart! Really cool look at getting this track down.
      Now is my favorite album of their since Chicago XI (Terry's last).

      @@metalSpike Seraphine did NOT suck. Walt was a mental case at one time. The founder of the band, Danny, helped him. Lamb went mental too, and Danny helped him. Peter was not only the top voice, he was a kickass bassist. He had great lines. Lamb was the smooth tenor. Kath was the soul of the band. Danny was the foundation, the spine. Jimmy was the horn section. He wrote the horn arrangements. I did research papers in college on their music from a musicologist's POV. Chicago lost its soul when Kath died. After that, it slowly widdled away to basically a cover band with some original members. BTW, Walt doesn't play with them often anymore. Only Lee, Robert, and Jimmy are the originals. I think you know less of what you think you know.

    Chops .Lots of chops, indeed.
    However, I think time has proven that Chicago cannot recapture its heyday. With the constant flipping of members and the song writing all but outsourced. I haven't felt good about this band since the last album with Bill and Jason.
    One thing that's great is losing Howland. A whimp who couldn't begin to compare with Dacus, let alone Kath.
    I hope you guys retire soon and save us from another lame attempt at glory.
    Sad but true.
