It's been a few years since this official website of sax player Jim Horn has last been updated, I guess. Most of the solo albums that are on offer there, seem to be out of print at this point in time already. He's my favourite sax player, so thanks for bringing up this topic to discuss his work. I don't know his 70s solo albums, but if there is one of his solo albums that I can recommend without 2nd guessing, it would be his 2nd Warner Bros album, "Work It Out", from 1990. It's got it all, the rock, the jazz and the Memphis sound.
I'd love to hear him record another rock/Memphis sound instrumental album which focussing pretty much on tenor sax and baritone sax, with occasional flute splashes, and great, soulful guest guitarists.
He's living in Nashville now, doing session work, as far as I know. I hope he's doing alright. The most recent recordings that I've heard him play on were "All the Roadrunning" by Emmylou Harris and Mark Knopfler, where his contribution was almost lost in the mix on the final track, and "Mirror" by the former Eagles guitarist and mandolinist Bernie Leadon, where he's also just on one track.
I'd appreciate it very much if you could name some recordings by other artists from the 2000s, on which his sax playing is featured more prominently. Thanks.
