Artist: Fred Horn
Artist: Audrey Horne
Audrey Horne plays powerful, heavy, melodic, in-your-face hard rock, with an attitude and tastes like early Faith No More.

Artist: Shirley Horn
A superior ballad singer and a talented pianist, Shirley Horn put off potential success until finally becoming a major attraction while in her fifties. She studied piano from the age of four. After attending Howard University, Horn put together her first trio in 1954, and was encouraged in the early '60s by Miles Davis and Quincy Jones. She... [+] Read More
Artist: The Memphis Horns
Arguably the greatest soul horn section ever, the Memphis Horns were a critical part of the Stax formula during the '60s and '70s, as well as prolific contributors to numerous other sessions since the label's demise. Though today the name is identified with the duo of trumpeter Wayne Jackson and tenor saxophonist Andrew Love, the band at one... [+] Read More
Artist: Jim Horn
The legendary saxophonist Jim Horn was born and raised in sunshine filled Los Angeles, CA. He began performing before crowds at his own junior high school dances. While still in his teens and in school, he started to get gigs at local nightclubs, sitting in with whatever band would welcome him. Though Elvis was king at the time, it was artists... [+] Read More
Artist: Paul Horn
When one evaluates Paul Horn's career, it is as if he were two people, pre- and post-1967. In his early days, Horn was an excellent cool-toned altoist and flutist, while later he became a new age flutist whose mood music is often best used as background music for meditation. Horn started on piano when he was four and switched to alto at the age... [+] Read More

A singer whose voice has been compared to Vladimir Horowitz's piano and Jascha Heifetz's violin, Marilyn Horne has been called "the greatest singer in the world" by Opera News and has been recognized by the New York Times as being "the most American of all operatic singers." Horne is known for her dramatic range, singing everything from... [+] Read More
Artist: Trevor Horn
One of the most commercially successful producers of the 1980s, Trevor Horn popularized a signature modernist sound notable for its early use of samplers. Born July 15, 1949 in Hertfordshire, England, his father was a double bass player in a local orchestra; Horn soon picked up the bass himself, and as a teen played in a variety of area bands....

Artist: Horned God
Hailing from the megalopolis of São Paulo, Brazil, death metal extremists Horned God came together in 1998 and, while still calling themselves "Sacrifice", issued an E.P. entitled Revenge of Pain the following year.

Artist: Horns of Happiness
Horns of Happiness is the exuberant side project of Aaron Deer, whose work with Impossible Shapes and John Wilkes Booze might already be well known to some. Where those bands reach for the arty side of indie pop, Horns of Happiness revel in fuzzy D.I.Y. production and down-home melodic sense. Though it's technically a solo project, the... [+] Read More

Artist: James T. Horn
Artist: Goat Horn
Originating in the quiet town of Pembroke, Ontario, before relocating to Toronto, Goat Horn was founded in 1999 by vocalist/bassist Jason Decay, guitarist Brandon Wars, and drummer Steel Rider (yes, Steel Rider!) -- all of whom were barely out of their teens at the time. Recorded in a single day, 2001's inaugural set, Voyage to Nowhere, was a... [+] Read More
Artist: The JB Horns
As members of James Brown's legendary backing band the J.B.'s, saxophonists Pee Wee Ellis and Maceo Parker and trombonist Fred Wesley defined the sinuous grooves, bold horn arrangements, and relentless rhythms that are the foundations of funk. Many years (and myriad hip-hop samples) later, the three men reunited as the JB Horns, recording and... [+] Read More
