The Haggis Horns is a very nice funk ensemble from England, or better to say deep funk. The sound combines jazz, funk, afrobeat and soul; and the musicians are spectacular. Actually a great hit album for every summer.
The members have performed and recorded with many top artists including: The Cinematic Orchestra, Lou Donaldson, Nightmares on Wax, Roots Manuva, Mark Ronson, Stuart Zender (Jamiroqui’s bassist), Corinne Bailey Rae, Snowboy, Tim Burgess (The Charlatans), Odyssey, Martina Topley-Bird, Lily Allen, Candie Payne and Amy Winehouse. Noteably, with the horn section featured on the legendary deep funk album “Keb Darge presents the New Mastersounds” (I’ll also give it a review someday).
As for their latest record Hot Damn! it represents awesome not mainstream instrumental funk with great melodies and occasional gospel styled singing in two or three tracks.
