Bilal Abdur Rahman...this is how I like it.

What does a "bull horn" sound like?

[JSngry]

like a ram's horn

[Simon8]

[Dub Modal]

Sometimes a bull horn can be the actual horn from the animal (I have one laying around here somewhere, fitted with a mouthpiece as well). Or sometimes it can refer to a type of air horn. I'm guessing in the above setting it's a bull's horn proper.

Right, that's what I meant. Mistakenly said air horn.

Two by José Roberto Bertrami:

Blue Wave (Milestone, 1983)

 

and

Dreams Are Real (Milestone, 1986)

 

[Rabshakeh]

Courtney Pine's Underground (Verve, 1997). 

I am pretty allergic to hip hop crossover (at least for pre-Kanye/trap era hip hop) and when I was a teenager I regarded this album in particular as Satan. But returning to it now, it strikes me as one of the few jazz-side records of the era to successfully make the jump: the musicians don't sound like they are doing their best in a 120bpm straightjacket (which I think is the chief danger of the genre, even for records like Shipp's Equilibrium).  Not sure why my views on it have changed - presumably I've just got older and less demanding.

As for successful hip-hop / jazz crossovers, have you heard this one? https://stevelehman.bandcamp.com/album/s-l-b-yone I don't like rap, but I thought this one was very good.
