A Historical View Of The Suspects
This list is only accurate in the most general way… dates are approximate, and it does not reflect situations where old horn players and their replacements were sharing the stage at the same time or the odd periods when Chuy and Joe took time off from regular gigging due to work-related travel. New members are highlighted in green and exiting members are highlighted in red.
