Ray Jaeggi - Although he started out as a drummer, the drumsticks never reappeared after buying his first saxophone, which he learned under the direction of the outstanding jazz saxophonist Stewart Curtis of K-Groove. He spent most of the nineties playing Tenor and Alto saxophone and Flute in rock bands; in particular a 7-piece outfit called "Jinx". Ray also occasionally rejoined his old pals from his drumming days armed with his tenor sax for gigs with their band " The Boyfriends ", which also included his present partner in The Ruthless Brothers, Dave Howman.

Ray continues to be an IN DEMAND session sax player, whose warm tones can be heard all over the place.
