Fred Wesley, the trombonist and author best known as the man James Brown called on for all those funky horn "hits," now is the leader of his own jazz-funk band, the New JBs, which plays around the world and just released the new CD, "With A Little Help From My Friends." Fred also is involved in collaborations including Abraham Inc., and is in demand for guest and visiting artist appearances for a wide variety of artists, schools and other settings.
