Bands with a horn section can really cook! I’m assuming there is a bass and drummer as well as singers in that mix. The guitar player needs to not step on the others and maybe play simple triads instead of full chords for the rhythm. Of course being able to step out and take a solo when necessary would be helpful.

As with learning any style of music or technique, you can’t overlook the value of research into how it’s been done by the pros over the years… I know, that would seem like a “Well, DUH!!” statement but look for some examples
Gregg Allman, in his latter years, put together a band that was his vision of music. He stated that he loved what Duane had put together with the Allman Brothers but he always wanted a band with a horn section. The last 2-3 albums that he released had that horn section and Gregg loved it; Scott Sharrard was his guitarist and the musical director of the band
