Details:
New York Horns was formed in 1997 by trumpeter Chris Anderson and saxophonist John Isley out of a mutual love of the art of horn section playing, and a desire to work together as a writing, arranging, performing and recording team. It is our hope to expand upon the work of such luminary horn sections as the Brecker Brothers, the Horny Horns of Parlaiment Funkadelic, the JB Horns, and the Pheonix Horns, among others, and contribute towards keeping the art of horn section playing a viable force in the music industry. We specialize in the writing, arranging, performance and recording of horn oriented music.

In 1999, our EP âTunnel Visionâ and one single from it, âMiles From Chicago,â went on to be two of MP3.comâs most popular downloads (#1 Acid Jazz single), and the single ranked 18th in total plays for all of 1999. Over 3 million copies of NYH tracks went into circulation as a result of exposure on MP3.com. For the first time in almost 10 years, the full EP is available again for sale.

Our writing, performing, and recording skills have been used by Sony Music, J Records, Skin Tight, the Hudson River Rats, Bernard Purdieâs All-Stars, Music Playground, Nia Monet, Matt Marshak, the Todd Wolfe Blues Projekt, the Kevin Kline Band, and many others. NYHâs exposure on MP3.com led to our being asked to join the writing team at Beach Street Music. Through that relationship, we have seen hour original music placed on national television shows such as âSally Jesse Raphael,â âThe Maury Povich Show,â âThe Montel Williams Show,â and â Crossing Over with John Edwards,â as well as âABC Sports,â âABC News, and âCBS Sports.â

We continue to write and produce music in our studio, and are working on a new release which will hopefully be available in the fall of 2011. In the meantime, enjoy Tunnel Vision!

REVIEW FROM INDIE-MUSIC.com:

If someone asked you to define the New York jazz sound, one of the first names that should come to mind is New York Horns.

New York Horns debut album, "Tunnel Vision," is a four track CD appetizer of funky jazz fusion: there's enough there to give you a taste, but leaves you wanting more. Lots more.

As you groove along with the four tracks, immersing yourself in John Isley's saxophones on the title track, dancing the conga to "Fuego," grooving in your dark sunglasses to "Miles From Chicago," or calling your friend to "Bring That Friend of Yours," when it's all over, you'll be scrambling for the repeat button, wondering how 19:39 could go that fast.

New York Horns is actually a duo. Trumpet/flugelhorn player Chris Anderson was the lead trumpeter for Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, as well as other notables like Donald Fagen, Ben E. King, Michael McDonald, Jon Bon Jovi, and Bozz Skaggs. Sax player John Isley has also been the featured performer with Bernard "Pretty" Purdie, Matt "Guitar" Murphy, Reggie Workman, and Tony Trishka.

But for this album, they assembled an all-star cast to help them out with their album, helping them to round out the entire NYH sound: Chris Fischer (keyboards and song writing), Wayne Avers (guitar), Tom Bowes (lead and background vocals on "Bring That Friend", Dan Levine (trombone), Baron Raymonde (alto sax), and Joey Stann (baritone sax) all lend their various talents to the disc, which leads me to the question: Why don't all these guys go on the road together? With talent this huge playing, this combination would immediately be at the top of the list of any serious jazz fan.

If you like Miles Davis, Tower of Power, Spyro Gyra, Modern Jazz Quintet, old Herbie Hancock (not that "Future Shock" stuff), David Sanborn, or even 3 hole Punch (reviewed right here on Indie-Music.com!), or you just like hot jazz in general, then "Tunnel Vision" is one CD that you absolutely must have in your collection.
