The French horn was at first rarely used in [[jazz]] music. (Note that colloquially in jazz, the word "horn" refers to any wind instrument.) Notable exponents, however, began including French horn in jazz pieces and ensembles. These include composer/arranger [[Gil Evans]] who included the French horn as an ensemble instrument from the 1940s, first in [[Claude Thornhill]]'s groups, and later with the pioneering [[cool jazz]] nonet (nine-piece group) led by trumpeter [[Miles Davis]], and in many other projects that sometimes also featured Davis, as well as [[Don Ellis]], a trumpet player from [[Stan Kenton]]'s jazz band. Notable works of Ellis' jazz French horn include "Strawberry Soup" and other songs on the album ''[[Tears of Joy (album)|Tears of Joy]]''. Notable improvising horn players in jazz include [[Julius Watkins]], [[Willie Ruff]], [[John Graas]], [[David Amram]], [[John Clark (musician)|John Clark]], [[Vincent Chancey]], Giovanni Hoffer, [[Arkady Shilkloper]], Adam Unsworth, and [[Tom Varner]].
