Fred Wesley on SOUL POWER (2009)

James Brown is the centerpiece of the new documentary SOUL POWER, which hits NY and LA on July 10. In this exclusive clip, JB and Horny Horns trombonist Fred Wesley reflects backstage at the Silverdocs Film Festival on the years he spent as musical director for the great James Brown, specifically their 1974 performance in Zaire, which forms the centerpiece director Jeffrey Levy-Hinte's film. Compiled from footage originally captured by Leon Gast and crew during the Ali-Foreman fight (which also formed the basis of the Oscar winning doc WHEN WE WERE KINGS), Soul Power features a treasure trove of previously unseen footage from some of the top R&B and World Music acts of the 1970s .
