He has covered all musical styles prized in Texas ranging from country to reggae, from Jazz to blues and beyond. However, Flores found his calling playing Latin Jazz.

Extremely well received performances in San Antonio's Jazz's Alive festival and the Texas Jazz Festival are notable highlights among others, and Flores has shared the stage with many international acts. Flores has has a bachelor's degree in music (B.M.) and has put his credentials to work by teaching wind ensemble jazz band and other music classes in public schools for 13 years in addition to regular nightly and weekend performances. Toro Flores, aka Alfred Flores, continues to recreate and innovate his vast musical talents to always deliver a compelling and world class performance.
