I am a Nashville based trumpet player with over 15 years of professional performing experience. I have recorded on numerous albums and performed with a variety of professional ensembles from Nashville to New York City. I am well versed in a variety of styles including: salsa, jazz, rock, pop, R&B, musical theater, etc.
Rates vary from project to project but a standard quote is: $125 for the first recorded part and $50/each additional layer (meaning: if you want two, three, or four different layers of harmony recorded on the same track, then it is $125 for the first layer, $50 for layer two, $50 for layer three, etc). If you have more than one song that needs horn parts, please contact me to discuss your project and budget.
If you don't have specific horn parts in mind and request that I arrange horn lines to accompany your music, a separate arranging fee applies. This rate depends on the complexity of the arrangement. This does not apply to tracks that only require soloing over the music. Transcriptions of your music are also available for $25/part.
I also work with a top level horn section to include alto/tenor sax, trombone, and tuba. Please feel free to contact me to discuss adding a full horn section to your music.
PLEASE CONTACT ME TO DISCUSS YOUR PROJECT BEFORE PLACING AN ORDER!

Endorse Mark Morgan
check_circleVerifiedMark is FANTASTIC and recorded 4 trumpet charts for my jazz big band project. His performance was rock solid, and he was very communicative with me throughout the process. I'll certainly be returning for future projects. Thanks again, Mark!
check_circleVerifiedI've worked with Mark on several songs and he has a great "feel" for them, whether it's a Mexican vacation song, a rockabilly song, or now a 12 bar blues. He is timely, and sounds terrific. I will not hesitate to use him again.
