Jim Horn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jim Horn is a saxophonist. He was born in Los Angeles, and provided the raucous sax sounds on the early (1958-59) recordings of Duane Eddy. His tenor sax playing on 'Peter Gunn' and other tracks on these early albums is an object lesson in rock and roll sax and together with Bobby Keys and Jim Price he became one of the most in demand horn session players of the 1970s and 1980s. Horn played on solo albums by all the members of the Beatles, joining Nicky Hopkins as having done so.

Horn also played flute and saxophone on the The Beach Boys' album Pet Sounds
