Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man?
Mahler's 5th?
Or are we just talking pop/rock?
It's got be James Brown for the dancing along with it. Maybe listen to the studio recording
Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man?
Mahler’s 5th?
Great choices. I'll add Janacek's Sinfonietta.
Rat Trap.
sorry to shut this down so early,...
anything by the apogee of the 80's, Modern Romance
I was going to suggest Brass Against but eddiebaby beat me to it, they do some great covers.
Too many. Love a bit of brass. Especially of the squonking variety.
A few off the top:
Chrome Hoof meld brass and bass
Dobly?
Last but most: Fela!

*Edit
Wildcard (not strictly an intro – just beautiful brass for such a sunny Friday)
Kokoroko
I was going to suggest I Wish by Stevie Wonder - utter genius from Nathan Watts.
But rereading the thread title I’ll suggest Sir Duke from the same album instead. Ok everyone knows it but it is total class.
Good call on James Brown.
Also his classic
‘When You Step On A Lego’ intro
How about a series with a great brass intro
Especially of the squonking variety.
US3 - Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)
Freak Power - Turn On,Tune In,Cop Out
Short intro - proper horn ‘break’ at 2:05
IIRC This is the guy who 20 years later was on X Factor or BGT with a pink-haired girlfriend half his age.
Oh and the ‘guitarist’ is that little-known fella Norman (Fatboy Slim) Cook.
Jonny Briggs theme.
^ I did time in Winson Green Prison with the bass player from Dexys 🙂 ^
The National Anthem
.
This is simply brilliant and the musicians really are a class act. Here's Billie Holiday singing 'fine and mellow'.
Enjoy.
We need moar James Brown.
Hard to keep still to this one
These are going to age me, but I have been on a bit of an early 80's revival this week.

OK, it's not really about the brass, more the break and the keyboard riff. But holy shit, this is amazing, even more so that it's nearly 50 years old.

Amyway, some brilliant links above.
Making me smile.
Let me try once more:
Intros that build would be another category...
Since Yesterday-Strawberry Switchblade,such a sweet and simple track
Not the classic version, but check out the go-go dancers.
I agree, we can never have too much James Brown. Here are the JBs with Hank Ballard
and the Godfather himself
