   About PLeasure Point Horns
In the tradition of bands with named horn sections, the PLEASURE POINT HORNS were named in 1986 by trumpeter and public relations guy DAN YOUNG as the horn section for Santa Cruz, California ska-reggae-surf band SQUARE ROOTS: www.myspace.com/squarerootssantacruz When Dan left the band in 1993, he kept the PLEASURE POINT HORNS (named after the Santa Cruz surf ghetto where all the band members lived and surfed) together as a 'rent-a-horn-section' group. The PPH provides horns for recording and live performance projects including film and TV soundtracks ( http://www.pfilbryte.com/ ). The PPH has a broad contact list and can provide any size horn section for any size project, from a solo instrumentalist to a full symphonic wind ensemble. Members of the PPH play a variety of musical genres - ska to symphonic - and are involved in the music community as music educators, mentors and board members of the Santa Cruz Jazz Festival ( scjf.org ), the Santa Cruz Pops ( santacruzpops.com ) and the Kuumbwa Jazz Center ( http://www.kuumbwajazz.org/index.php ). **************************************************************** PLEASURE POINT HORNS have shared the stage and/or backed an eclectic mix of musical artists and groups including: Grammy Award winning guitarist Ken Emerson; Tower of Power trumpeter Mic Gillette; Grammy winning jazz drummer Jeff Hamilton (Diana Krall Band); Michael Davis, touring trombonist with The Rolling Stones; tenor saxman Ernie Watts; trumpeter Bobby Shew; tenor saxman Donny McCaslin; Square Roots; Slow Gherkin; Skankin' Pickle; Blues Traveler; No Doubt; Dance Hall Crashers; Let's Go Bowling; Toots and the Maytals; The Wailers; Fishbone; Buring Spear; Santana; Los Lobos; Shinehead; The Untouchables; Aswad; David Lindley & El Rayo X; The Bonedaddys; Judy Mowatt; The Ventures; Pato Banton; The Selector; The Wailiing Souls; Yellowman; The Count Basie Orchestra; Bim Skala Bim; The Rowan Brothers, Bruce Forman. **************************************************************** The PLEASURE POINT BRASS BAND started as a group of friends coming together to play in the " World's Shortest Parade" in Aptos, California on the 4th of July. Every year the cast of musical characters changes. From a clown playing a pocket trumpet to a kid with a wheelbarrow full of bass drum, the Pleasure Point Brass Band is always a favorite of the 20,000+ fans who line the street. Today, the PPBB plays parties, political rallies, ceremonies and just about anything that comes along. If it's fun, the PPBB is all over it!
