Day 6: A song featuring one or more woodwind instruments
My way of answering today's prompt was to recognize I really enjoy eclectic and kinda weird music, so just by listening to my liked songs I'd come across an answer.
Imagine my delight to hear this song come on and hear that beautiful flute...
This is the song that got me to fall in love with Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros.
I'm a happy girl tonight

Day 6: A song featuring one or more woodwind instruments
Leonardo Pellegrino, who performs as "Leo P," is a baritone saxophonist best known for busking with his band, Too Many Zooz, mostly in New York City. In 2017, he played alongside the Netherlands jazz and pops orchestra Metropole Orkest at the famous BBC Proms. They played several songs by irascible jazz genius Charles Mingus, starting out with "Brasshouse" and "Moanin'" To be honest, I am really not sure what Mingus would have thought of this. He would either love it, or try to kill Leo with his bass. Or both. He was "The Angry Man of Jazz," after all.
Leo P combines a brilliant understanding of the baritone saxophone with a street performer's energy, shtick, and flair. It is utterly remarkable for him to play with such range, and precision, while bouncing around like a cartoon cat. If cocaine played jazz, this is what it would look like. But his musicality is incredible as well. The first three minutes are filled by just Leo and the drummer, before the whole orchestra comes in for "Moanin'." American jazz musician Christian Scott solos on his custom trumpet before the two trade solos. It is all as gimmicky and over the top as Leo's hair, but it is still a hell of a good time.
Maybe Mingus would have approved.

It feels as the chorus of this is so good they need a pre-chorus to prepare you for it Or maybe there are just two choruses (chorii?)

Day 6: A song featuring one or more woodwind instruments
First song that comes to mind. Early reggae/skinhead reggae/late rocksteady. 1968 collaboration with Tommy McCook on the flute and the arranging. (He was the sounding member of the skatellites) and Stranger Cole with the vocals.
Classic bubbly keyboard sound of this genre but with a flute rounding things out. One of my favorite songs.
I have this 45 (but on Unity record label) and it’s one of my prize vinyl possessions. I recall paying $25 for it way back in 1988.

I saw the Violent Femmes … last year?…two years ago? and I was surprised at how many different instruments they played. It made me see this band in a different light.

The first song that popped into my head for this prompt needed a quick search.. Yup, bagpipes are considered a woodwind instrument. They may not be played throughout the song but it is highly likely that anyone who is/was into the heavier side of 90's music will recognise the intro.
