New York Horns

“Ain’t nothin like the real thing, baby!”

Synth horns or emulations sound ok, but if you want THAT sound, the sound of horn players doing what they do, making your project just scream with that “Je ne sais pas…”, then maybe it’s time you knew about New York Horns

New York Horns is a horn section based in New York City, started by myself and my good friend, business partner and trumpet player Chris Anderson. We’ve been making noise together since 1996 or so, found we had an affinity for working together and decided to make an official business of it.

Founded officially in 2000, NYH writes, arranges, produces and performs in a variety of styles and with a number of different artists. We’ve been featured with Ricky Byrd’s New York Hit Squad, The Bernard Purdie Band, Todd Wolfe’s Blues Projekt, Skin Tight, The Stingers, Nia Monet… and the list continues. And, oh yeah, we’re both member of Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes!

In 1999 we released our debut EP/CD, “Tunnel Vision” and had the good sense to place it for distribution on the then-fledgling mp3.com. “Tunnel Vision” went on to be one of the most downloaded and featured projects on mp3.com, and one single, “Miles From Chicago”  was 18th in overall plays for the year. We distributed (ok, gave away…) over three million copies of our tracks through mp3.com, bringing a heightened awareness of New York Horns throughout the world.

Through that exposure we were asked to write and produce for a number of situations including J Records, Beach Street Music, ABC News, CBS News, Maury Povitch, Sally Jesse Raphael, among many others. Our music has been heard on national radio and television and has been featured on many websites and webcasts.

If you need horns, from a duo to a full big band, we can provide them. Being based in New York City gives us access to the finest musicians in the world. We can write, arrange and produce tracks in our studio and we can provide full contracting services to fulfill your horn section needs. We can do all services via the web, our rates are competitive and our work is stellar.
