The Jazz Horn - This site is a labor of love by Harlan Feinstein, and lists in concise horn just about everyone who’s anyone in the jazz horn world, plus a good jazz horn discography (although it’s pretty lean on Arkady Shilkloper’s work as well as other European jazz hornists). Not many links, but a lot of information in list form.
Jazz Practice Loops - If you don't have Band in a Box to practice chord progressions, this site provides a quick, dirty, and free alternative. It includes reference information on a wide variety of topics (basic theory, major and minor scale harmony, symmetric scales, derived scales, improvisation, playing clanges, modal improvisaiton, chromaticism, nontonal improv, and free improv), and features a variety of practice loops (piano, bass, and drums supplying a rhythm section accompaniment) in 2-5-1 progressions, major and minor blues, modal tunes, major and minor scales, and chord changes to standard tunes. BiaB is more comprehensive, but for free instant accompaniment from the www, it's hard to beat this site.
Ken's Jazz Lounge - playalong CD accompaniments by Ken Wiley of 12 jazz standards, made expressly for the horn.
World of Jazz Improvisation - Articles from the jazz improv course of Joan Wildman.
Jazz Café - jazz charts by jazz hornists John Clark, Tom Varner, Vincent Chancey, Rick Todd, Tom Bacon.
Give It One - CD: The London Horn Sound goes Big Band
