Jazz legend's more slimmed-down trumpet sound? (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lena horne

'jazz legend's' is the definition.
(Lena Horne, 1917-2010)

'more slimmed-down trumpet sound?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'trumpet' could be 'horn' (synonyms) and 'horn' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
