The Miami Horns - Little Steven

Little Steven

As well as arranging the horn parts when they toured and recorded with Southside Johnny and Bruce Springsteen, Steve Van Zandt has also used the Miami Horns when he produced for other artists. In 1981 he used them on Dedication, an album he produced for Gary U.S. Bonds, and they then featured prominently on his own debut Men Without Women. This was released under the name Little Steven & The Disciples Of Soul and the horns were credited as La Bamba's Mambomen. They also toured to promote the album. Van Zandt also used the horns on "All Alone on Christmas", a single he wrote and produced for Darlene Love which was also featured on the Home Alone 2: Lost in New York soundtrack.
