A Man With a Horn is an album by

Big John Patton and drummer Ben Dixon.[2]

The album was awarded 3 stars in an

Allmusic review by Al Campbell, who states "This is a mainly mellow affair with six of the nine tracks exchanging the hard bop and soul-jazz of the times for ballads and slow blues. However, the occasional up-tempo funky surprise does pop up".[3]
