Funk legend Fred Wesley is the trombonist, composer, arranger, bandleader and author known worldwide as one of the architects of funk music. Fred's work with Godfather of Soul James Brown in the 1970s established him as the world's funkiest trombonist. He is also famed for his work with George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, Parliament, Funkadelic, the Count Basie Orchestra, Ray Charles, Van Morrison and Cameo.

Fred Wesley is responsible for many rare groove anthems such as House Party, Blow Your Head, Use Me, Same Beat, Rockin' Funky Watergate and many more.

'We speak of love and happiness: For me, happiness is Fred Wesley playing his horn' James Brown.

Support comes from the heavy vibing keys, jazz funk sound of The Expansions.
