Fred Wesley
Funk done right: Fred Wesley will perform with Willie Tee, Charles Skip Pitts and Zigaboo Modeliste.
Best known for his work with James Brown and the JBs, Fred Wesley has built his career in funk and jazz. From 1968 through 1975, Wesley was music director, arranger, trombonist and a primary composer for Brown's band, helping to create a brand of funk that he helped take to a new level upon joining forces with George Clinton and Bootsy Collins in 1975.
