I have played French Horn and Trumpet professionally and I never could get used to the mellowness of the Horn for Jazz. And when you play aggressively on it, IMO the sound just goes to hell. |
I used to have a little trad jazz band and I played a marching french horn taking the lead role. Every gig we had the most common question was what I was playing. One of the advantages was the extended range of the horn. And yes, the cool factor of playing something really different was fun.
