For the past
decade, The 911 Horns, made up of Ozzie Melendez on trombone, Barry
Danielian on trumpet and Bobby Franceschini on saxes, have been
the premier touring and recording horn section in the Pop, Latin,
and R&B industry. Slick phrasing and tight section playing is
just the tip of the iceberg. Each member is not only an accomplished
soloist, but can double on keys, percussion, and background vocals.
Exciting fresh horn arrangements, that enhance any project, are
part of the package with 911.

Ozzie is both
a lead and background singer. The sessions and live gigs that he
has done and continues to do, run the music styles gamut... everything
from Lita Ford (hard rock), to Tito Nieves & Willie Colon (Salsa).
He also has done his share of jingles (Pringles, Folgers, North
West Airlines, Fiero, Oldsmobile....). Recently, Ozzie finished
his soon to be released solo album featuring Ozzie's strong vocal
work. It is a mixture of Latin, pop and funk. Check back often to
find out how you can get this great CD!
