      Luckily, there is no such thing as "the best horn section on the plant". Because there are several of those ;-) Heavytones were mentioned already (probably not known by many), but you should check out also Tim Akers & The Smoking Section, or Cory Wong, or Santa Fe and the Fat City Horns. IMHO they are all playing in the highest league. I am a million times grateful that despite the maintream chart music there are still bands like this carrying on the tradition of great horn section music and doing it in such a perfect manner!!

    I can't express how grateful I am for the dedication Leonid and Friends have to musical perfection. I can't get over that they are singing in a foreign language, playing music from bands they've never seen perform live, and even without any musical score to reference. And they are doing this with pure joy. Man. I love this group. I have become an ardent promoter of Leonid and Friends, and I hope and pray they keep going. So many of miss this kind of musicianship! What this group is doing is more than a breath of fresh air; it is life-giving for some of us. Please come to northern Minnesota soon! (But if you come anywhere within 500 miles from where I live, I'll do my best to be there. BTW, I am purchasing L&F music on ITunes now. This band must be supported!)

      Music frees the soul and the spirit of these incredibly talented musicians, singers, players and superb ambassadors of hope(through music)!

      They DO have a musical score to reference: in the credits it mentions the member of the band who does all the transcriptions. Now, HE doesn't have a score to reference, and it is a colossal feat to transcribe all those parts, to get all the nuances, and not miss ANYTHING. Sometimes the original masters of these songs are available (that is, the studio recordings where you can isolate a track, making it much easier to transcribe) but those are rare rare rare and usually kept in locked vaults.
      That said: they are spot-on.

      Thats a HUGE comment of respect. I grew up loving EWF and I agree that Maurice would be dancing. I have had the pleasure of chatting online with the band and becoming friends. Great humble people. Cant wait for the next trip to the USA

      God bless Maurice. A genius gone before his time. His music touched so so many. He's playin right now for Jesus, all the angels are dancing and singing along. Has to be a fabulous time. Godspeed from me and your fans. Love, respect, adoration.

    So refreshing to watch/listen to actual talented musicians not using techno tricks and synthesizers to make them sound better than they are.
    Keep up the great work!
    This is the Russian Invasion the world needs!
