Sometimes you get absolutely no warning. It just happens. Other times, you've heard rumblings and even felt the buzz, so you've got an idea that there may be something special going on. Art is subjective. No question. But even in the midst of a subjective form of creativity, there are still some moments when most people would say, "Wow!". Ennio Morricone's score to 'The Mission' The opening of 'Saving Private Ryan' on [...]
When school starts back up for the Fall in just a few weeks, I will have been playing trumpet for 30 years of my 42 years on this planet. According to one of the algebraic equations I remember from my youth, that means I have been playing trumpet for about 71% of my life. I have had some amazing opportunities in my life of trumpet playing so far. I've had the opportunity [...]
Some folks like to read information about a project. For others, a visual is easier to help you wrap your head around a project. I'm more of a visual guy, so here is a quick video overview of our Retro Worship collection from our Horns & Rhythm series. Similar in idea to our Retro Hymns project, we have taken modern worship songs and gone 'back in time' a little bit. This time, [...]
What if today’s worship songs were recorded in the 1980s? What musical influences would you hear? Would there be hints of Boston, Journey, Genesis and even Bon Jovi? And...Just how much reverb and delay would there be on the saxophone? In true Horns & Rhythm fashion, we have taken 10 popular and familiar worship songs of today and tried to imagine what they might have sounded like in the 1980s. But [...]

Every year during the Christmas season, we have a brass choir/ensemble play in the lobby in between services. The brass guys love to play and it really helps get all the folks in the Christmas spirit.

Do you really wish you could do some big band type Christmas arrangements this year but you just don't have a 'big band'? No problem. We've created the AK Little Big Band which is a series of arrangements written/recorded for full big band BUT the arrangements will work with a smaller horn section (2/2/2). If you've got a couple trumpets, saxes and trombones, then you can play these arrangements. If you've got [...]

I've said it before, but I am a visual person. It is easier for me to see something and understand it than it is to read about it and understand it. I think most people are. Except, apparently, for the people who write instructions for children's toys at Christmas. The folks down at Cornerstone Church in San Antonio have been a great supporter of our Horns & Rhythm series and recently shared [...]
