This is a great band to listen to for melodic genius, both in the written parts, and the solo-ing as well. Have Fun.

I have to agree, The BPB plays some of the hardest charts, and I would know, i've played 5 of the songs mentioned above on lead trumpet and they are hard. Also, for those of you looking for a jazzier type of funk, look to Tower of Power.
I recommend getting:
Oakland Stroke
Soul with a Capital "S"
They are a very talented band and have an amazing horn section.
