The Barons of Brass Deliver the Real Deal

The Memphis Horns may well be the most recorded brass section of all time. Wayne Jackson and Andrew Love have dominated the Rock, Soul and Funk scene since the 60’s and to this day are offering up their distinctive multi-tracked sound on tons of Billboard™ hits. Their list of Gold and Platinum records is impressive: Respect by Aretha Franklin, Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding, Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel, Angel of Harlem by U2, and hundreds more. Fortunately for us, these hugely successful artists have seen fit to lend their rare talents to create a phrase-based brass collection of mythic proportions. If you want their amazing Trumpet, Trombone, Bari and Tenor sound in your tracks, you’ve got to get the Memphis Horns CD-ROM.

This multi-disc library delivers hundreds of phrases in multiple keys and tempos. The phrases are presented both in their original complete form, and divided into flexible short phrases so you can easily integrate them any way you like. Styles range from Slow Soul and Passionate Pop, to Furious Funk. Tapping decades of experience with the music industry’s top producers and recording artists, Wayne and Andrew carefully wrote and performed the arrangements to be authentic in style and flexible in usability.

The Memphis Horns CD-ROM includes phrases ranging in tempo from 70 to 140 BPM, each in five harmonically related keys. You also get chromatically multisampled unisons, chords in major, minor, major 7, minor 7 and chord swells. Additionally, there’s a great variety of unique brass effects like flutters, Harmon mutes, tone clusters, falls and rips. Andrew also presents some of his famous solo sax work which you won’t want to miss!


If you’ve ever wanted to spice up your Pop, Rock, R&B, Soul, Funk, or Hip Hop projects, you know what you need. The Memphis Horns library delivers!

“As far as I’m concerned, The Memphis Horns have been and still are the definitive soul horn section of my generation.”
--Billy Joel

“Master constructors of modern music as we know it. Incredible melodic compositional skills combined with the ability to complement any music they turn their hand to have made Wayne and Andrew the legends they are now.”
--Steve Winwood

“They just have this magic they weave. I don’t think there’s any two horn players that blend like those guys do.”
--Robert Cray
