Solos and Funky Features

Great Attitude

Diligent preparation

The Cream Horns aspire to the greatest horn sections like Tower of Power, The Brecker Brothers, The JBs and Phoenix Horns

Aaron’s first horn section played for Beverley Knight’s Music City Soul promotion tour. They performed on Later with Jools Holland, played at the Albert Hall, recorded with iTunes Festival, and jammed with Maceo Parker and Prince at two of his aftershow parties at Indig02.

“I like Cream Horns. They show up on time and get their shit scored without me having to chase them. I like the dance moves as well. Anyway, i know I can leave them to get on with it, which makes my job simpler.

Oh, and they can play behind the beat and shuffle it up. Its not just about whats printed in the score. But then Stevie never really went for that did he?

When its time for a bit of a feature on the last song,they can sort that out as well – without using up 5 minutes of everybody else’s solo time.

Keep up the good work, guys.”
