The Orlando stop is the group\u2019s first performance back in the United States after a three-week tour in Europe, playing to fans from Amsterdam to Zurich, and other stops in between.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTower of Power has been playing and touring for 43 years. They are <em>the<\/em> soul band &#8211; they wrote the book,\u201d Almeida said.<\/p>\n<p>Trumpet player Adolfo Acosta said the horn section likes to stop while on tour and present clinics to aspiring musicians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe talk about our personal musical backgrounds as well as answer questions from those attending the clinic,\u201d Acosta said in e-mail from Italy. \u201cThose who attend the clinic can expect to hear many horn section excerpts from the band\u2019s repertoire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others in the Tower of Power horn section are: Emilio Castillo, tenor sax; Stephen &#8220;Doc&#8221; Kupka, baritone sax; Tom Politzer,\u00a0 tenor sax, and Sal Cracchiolo, trumpet. Along with Castillo and Kupka, original band members are bassist Rocco Prestia, and drummer Dave Garibaldi.<\/p>\n<p>The visit by Acosta will be a reunion of sorts with UCF\u2019s Jeff Rupert, director of jazz studies in the Music Department, who used to tour with Acosta when they played in Maynard Ferguson\u2019s jazz band in the late \u201890s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was in the band eight years and remember the day he [Acosta] came in,\u201d Rupert said. \u201cWe made a live recording that night, and he was great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Almeida said part of the clinic will be about the band members\u2019 views on playing together as an ensemble, which is one of their trademarks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sound that this five-man horn section makes is easily recognized by their tight harmony and hard-driving style of playing. No other horn section sounds like them, he said. \u201cTheir presence and their playing should really inspire our music students to work towards attaining perfection as musicians. These guys are great examples of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The clinic will be 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. April 11 in Studio 1 of the Theater Building. The visit is made possible in part by grants from Yamaha Band and Orchestral Instruments, Gerry Lopez Music, and the Horn Section.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0For Central Florida musicians hoping one day to take their skills on the road, some musicians from the road are coming to UCF to help sharpen those techniques.
