I've been following these premier west coast horn legends ever since their "East Bay Grease" recording. Emilio Castillo and Stephen "Doc"Kupka are two originals still guiding this funky crew.The present (2024) Tower of Power lineup features keyboardist Roger Smith (since 1998), trumpeter Adolfo Acosta (since 2000), tenor saxophonist Tom E. Politzer (since 2002), lead guitarist Jerry Cortez (since 2010), bassist Marc van Wageningen (since 2018), trumpeter Dave Richards (since 2023), drummer Pete Antunes (since 2024), and lead vocalist Jordan John (since 2024).
