Not always, but many french horn players do. Examples include John Clark, Willie Ruff and Tom Varner.

French horns are not a standard jazz instrument, but they have been used in some significant ensembles. For example, Gil Evans, the well-known jazz arranger, was known for including them when he was arranging for the Claude Thornhill big band, and later when working with Miles Davis on albums such as Birth of the Cool (recorded 1949, although not published under this name until 1957) and Porgy and Bess (1958). Evans exploited the more mellow timbre of the horn and used it to blend the sounds of the brass instruments and the saxophones.

The life expectancy of a jazz musician is no more or less than any other musician unless he has underlying health concerns.

I don't know the life expectancy of musicians who play other genres of music but the life expectancy of a jazz musician has been calculated to be only 37 years old. It may be hard to believe but it's true. Of course, many live to a ripe old age but, nevertheless, so many have died young that even with the less stressful lifestyles that today's jazz musicians have compared, say, to those of the 1950's and earlier that it will be a while before this average rises appreciably.

Jazz, and other types of music, was hit hard by the Depression. It quickly picked itself up and became a cheap form of entertainment, a way to forget about the economic conditions of the nation and your family if only for a short while. Radios were cheap, so most families could listen to Jazz. Jazz was also performed in clubs and patrons could sip cheap liquor and dance the night away. The jukebox and 78 rpm records also allowed most music to be heard by those who wanted to hear it, for a small cost.

you don't necessarily need any qualifications to become a musician. If you want to teach, you need to have at least passed Grade 8 in that instrument. If you wish to study music at university you most probably need an A-Level in Music, but to be an actual musician, and play as a solo artist or in a band you don't really need anything other than the ability to play that instrument.

Older jazz is much more basic because the musicians did not know as much about their instruments. For example, before John Coltrane's time, altissimo was not popular among jazz saxophonists. Also, contemporary jazz bands often times use more modern recording methods and in many cases the sound quality is worse on older jazz records. Due to advances in recording technology, now it is easier to hear individual parts like the 2nd alto or 3rd trumpet part.

Duke came from a wealthy black family in Washington D.C. As a boy, he was a somewhat reluctant and lazy piano student, being more interested in sports. However, at aged 15, he heard a young man of his own age playing what he describes as "swinging piano" and this re-awoke his interest in the instrument. He prevailed upon his parents to buy him a player piano and through that medium was able to play along with piano rolls by the great black, jazz piano players like Fats Waller and James P. Johnson. Later, he came to realize that playing music was a great way to both earn a little money and gain the approbation of the female sex. So with some friends, he began a little band and began to play some small gigs in and around the D.C. area. The rest is history.
