Pretty sure he's saying he did the main "horn" riff! As "played" by Chevy and Paul here:

Mentioned it in the main Simon thread, but the 5-hour audio doc on Paul Simon covers a lot of Graceland ground, including some of the jams that led to the songs, and the complications of the whole thing. Worth buying (or streaming on Audible), for sure.
