The Memphis Horns
The Memphis Horns are a horn section made famous by their many appearances on Stax Records. They have been called "arguably the greatest soul horn section ever."[1]
Origianlly comprised of about eight musicians, the Memphis Horns gradually slimmed down to a duo, Wayne Jackson on trumpet and Andrew Love on tenor saxophone.
The Memphis Horns appeared on nearly every recording for Stax--with Isaac Hayes, Otis Redding, Rufus Thomas, Sam and Dave and others--as well as on other releases, including a few solo records and U2's Rattle and Hum.
