If you’re purchasing charts from us and are currently using Lion as your operating system please also install a 3rd party browser such as Firefox or Chrome. Safari has been a thorn in our side since day one (Mr. Jobs doesn’t like playing other people’s reindeer games), but we do have the OSX version working. I’ll post up an update as we go and hopefully we’ll have the Lion problem sorted soon.

If you have any questions just give me a shout at info@pepperhorn.com.

We’re always trying to make things easier for you to browse through our catalog and our newest improvement is the new ‘list view’. We’ve cut down on the graphics and put all the important info in one row so its easier to flip through to find the tunes you need. You have the product titles and price at your fingertips and also have the option to add a quick purchase right to the shopping cart.

We’ve also added a couple of new search boxes at the top left and on the sidebar of the pages. Search is always a quick way to see if the tune you’re looking for is in the store. We’ll be improving that in the future with a speedier search engine.

As always if you don’t find what you’re looking for be sure to let us know. We’re always working on new licenses to bring you more, 100% legally licensed sheet music for your band or show!

Thanks for checking us out at PepperHorn Music!

To do that we’re partnering with many of the established publishers and record labels to bring you the hits your audiences are looking for.  For our clients in the EU we’ve already started rolling out our new catalog of PepperHorn Collections titles from a big mix of popular artists.  For those of you in the rest of the world rest assured we’re getting there!  The licensing process is a long and complicated one, but we’re already knee deep in delivering an affordable selection of dots for your ensembles.

To compliment the tunes we’re licensing from the big guns we’ve also been fortunate to enter into some direct licensing agreements with a range of established and up and coming artists.  The first of those is our line of charts from the Powder Blues band!  Available from 2 to 6 horns (with a few 5444s in the works!) — you’ll be Boppin’ With The Blues and Doin’ It Right.  In addition to the titles already in the Store we’ll have a bunch of their other hits coming in shortly including: Should Be You & Me, Joyridin, Nothin But A Tease, Pushy, Your Daddy, Slow Motion Water, I’m On The Road Again, Rock ‘n Roll Man, Party All Night & Sleep All Day, My Guitar’s My Oldest Friend, Close To You, Whole Lotta Lovin, The Days Are Few, Shiftless, B.B. Be Gone, Lovin’ Kissin’ & Huggin’, Blame It On The Blues, Let’s Get Loose, Disappearin’ Baby Blues, Cookin’ With The Blues, Swami Swing, It Should Be You & Me, Sooner Or Later and Party Band.  We’ll have these additional Powder Blues titles coming in over the next few months.

If there’s a great artist out there that you’d like to cover let them know that you’d like to see them on PepperHorn! We’re reaching out to as many artists directly as we can as we’d like to see a fair share of the profits go to the artists — all the while keeping the music affordable for you and your bands!

The next, exciting lineup coming in the next week or two will be the first of our PepperHorn Originals selections from killer up-and-coming artists! There’s some great tunes out there and we’ll have more on why Original music is a great way to expand your brand as an entertainer!!

Keep it switched on to PepperHorn!

That’s why we’ve started PepperHorn Down South — to make the New Orleans jazz tradition accessible to those far away from the Big Easy. We’re presenting many of the New Orleans Jazz classics in a professional package that any musician or group can dig in to.  Our Down South arrangements have a core of 3 horns (Trumpet, Clarinet, Trombone), 3 optional horns (Alto, Tenor and Bari saxes) and 4 individual Rhythm parts (Piano, Bass, Drums, Gutiar/Banjo).  Most tunes also have an optional Tuba in F part for Bass available for the string adverse.

Keep your eyes posted here or in the PepperHorn Down South News Threads for more on starting up your own New Orleans group.  I’ll be sharing some tunes, thoughts, stories and hopefully be able to get you as excited about the Tradition as I am.  In the mean time give some tunes a go and check out the great Mp3s and Albums from Jazz Crusade over at PepperHorn Radio!

That’s why we at PepperHorn want to make New Orleans Jazz accessible to musicians like you.  It’s so much fun — its a genuine, unstoppable crowd pleaser and is guaranteed to make you live longer!  We’ve created our PepperHorn Down South brand to pass on the NOLA traditions in an easy to digest form for those new to the idiom.  It’s also why we’ve partnered with Jazz Crusade Records to bring you some top notch selections from their catalog here through PepperHorn Radio.

Big Bill Bissonnette has been the man at the helm of the Jazz Crusade label since the beginning and was an instrumental player in the Trad. Jazz revival of the late 50s and 60s that helped keep the music alive.  Bill’s story is one of a love of the music — a young, aspiring trombonist and drummer who fell in love with the genre.  Bill’s early life revolved around making every opportunity to get himself right into the midst of the action — living, playing and chumming around with the New Orleans greats of the revival era like Geroge Lewis, Big Jim Robinson, Kid Thomas, Punch Miller, Kid Sheik, Polo Barnes, Alvin Alcorn, John Handy and many more.  His autobiography, The Jazz Crusade: The Inside Story of the Great New Orleans Jazz Revival of the 1960s (get it at Amazon) reads like a fairytale for Trad. Jazz lovers.  I personally couldn’t put it down once I cracked the cover and I could really feel Bill’s love of the music and his passion for keeping the tradition alive emanating from each page.

You hear the same love in each track from Jazz Crusade.  Whether its the spiritual stylings of Dr. Micheal White on At The Cross, Tuba Fats and His Chosen Few kicking it Brass Band style or Geoff Cole’s tribute to that madman Jelly Roll Morton — Jazz Crusade’s cuts span the breadth and depth of the New Orleans Jazz story.  Have a flip through the PepperHorn Radio pages and have a listen to some of the clips.  Once you’ve caught the spirit you won’t be able to let it go!

If you haven’t dabbled in the world of New Orleans and Traditional Jazz, Blues, Gospel and Rag Time then you’re definitely missing out on a timeless, rewarding musical experience.  Grab yourself some Jazz Crusade cuts — you won’t be sorry!
