Children of the Horn is an instrumental ensemble that has created a unique sound by combining influences from jazz, rhythm and blues, and world music. With a frontline of horns backed by a rhythm section, Children of the Horn takes the listener on a kaleidoscopic journey through original compositions that run the gamut from super-syncopated Latin-funk to swaggering New Orleans Second Line styles to classic Motown-inspired grooves.
Audiences of all ages find Children of the Horn to be highly entertaining. Their tight arrangements and masterfully improvised solos have earned the band opportunities to share the stage with international stars such as Dirty Dozen Brass Band, P-Funk, and Dr. Lonnie Smith.
