Paul Simon + Roots + Antibalas Horns on Fallon

Jimmy Fallon may be going through some growing pains as a late night talk show host (some of the interviews I’ve seen have their cringe-worthy moments), but with the Roots as the house band, every musical moment has the potential for greatness. Last week, the Beasties dropped in. Last night, it was Paul Simon’s turn, as he joined the Roots crew for “Late in the Evening”, with the Antibalas horns in tow.

The verses and choruses are fine, but the real magic happens in between, when the percussion and horns take over. Awesome!
