"HORNS AND THINGS" is the powerhouse contemporary jazz ensemble that has pleased audiences throughout the years! The group was founded by saxophonists J.T. Lynch and Ken LeeGrand. In an effort to find a place for their music, which could fit the modern genre and fulfill the needs in the Main Stream market, they teamed with Bassist, Derrick James, Keyboardist, Sakait Baksar and Drummer, Ray Harvin to form the nucleus of the band.
This phenomenal group has been performing for over thirty nine years. They have shared the spotlight with a who's who list of legendary performers from Dexter Gordon, Jimmy Heath, Freddie Hubbard and Joe Sample; to contemporary artists that include; Pieces of a Dream, Najee, Ronnie Laws, Kim Waters, Alex Bugnon and Marion Meadows. "HORNS AND THINGS" has opened for R&B artists such as El Debarge, Phillip Bailey, Millie Jackson, Brian Culbertson, Kevin Eubanks, Average White Band and EnVogue. They have participated in jazz festivals, headlined in concerts and performed the college circuits.
