Ray Alexander Horns
BIO

The Ray Alexander Horn Section is a nine piece ensemble consisting of three trumpets, two trombones and four saxophones. The horn section tours primarily with the Four Tops, but also plays several shows a year with the Temptations, the Spinners and Frankie Valli. The section also played 5 cuts on the four Tops Christmas CD on the Motown label. In addition, the Ray Alexander Horns have done a tour of the United Kingdom with the four Tops, Temptations and Mary Wilson. The horn section has also performed with The Spinners, Four Tops, the Pointer Sisters, Aretha Franklin and others at different locations of the House of Blues from Chicago to Orlando. The Ray Alexander Horns have also recorded two TV shows with the Four Tops on PBS- They also performed on the TV show, Motown Live. The Temptations took the section to St. Thomas. A great trip! No better than our Four Tops gig in Bermuda, though!

Michael Paskevich, Las Vegas Review:
"The Four Tops, still graced by an original cast that dates back to 1954, even takes on The Stones with an unlikely show-closing medley of "Satisfaction" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash." The powerful 14 piece Ray Alexander Orchestra featuring five horns and four reeds provides consistently solid support, although a bit more solo space for the hard-kicking brass section would be welcome."
