Not to be picky but..... a Horn player normally plays Sax
ooh, that is beyond picky. It's so far beyond picky that you should probably nip into threaded's time machine and inform Miles Davis, who called his horn a horn all through his life and autobiography.
And to think I edited my post from "major 4th" to "perfect 4th" to preempt the nitpickers!

I did say "normally'.........
There are quite a few Jazzmen who play "French Horn" as well...... but "Hornman", "Horn blower" etc most often refers to the Sax player.....
"Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art." - CHARLIE PARKER
Miles might call a trumpet a horn but Bird calls a Sax a horn.......

In 1965, when this recording was made, he seemed to fill the room with his tone in a different way. In the early ‘60s, he was playing through his horn and flying around his horn—his sound attacked you, it came at you.
And I did set things up by saying "I'm not a brass player..." rather than "I'm not a woodwind player..."
We have a wonderful language where sometimes a word can mean more than one thing and you need to apply a degree of comprehension to work out which is meant under the circs. Unhappily The Normal Police doesn't like that.
