Give It One

Give It One... The London Horn Sound Big Band

Nineteen leading London horn players formed The London Horn Sound Big Band, along with Britain's foremost jazz pianist, Gwilym Simcock.

Scintillating arrangements and compositions were provided by Richard Bissill, Jim Rattigan, Tim Jackson and Gwilym. Unforgettable jazz and lyrical solos emerge from Pip Eastop, Richard, Tim, Jim and Gwilym, and the horn ensemble playing has to be heard to be believed.

Enjoy! The idea was Hugh Seenan's and the recordings which emerged are the first ever by a French horn big band. The London Horn Sound, much-loved and often emulated, is taken to new heights.
