There is no "horn section" in a jazz band. Section implies a large jazz band and, as such, the sections would be referred to differently. "Horn" is an cover all word to describe all front line instruments, usually those which are mouth blown. There are, however, brass sections which are for trumpets, trombones and occasionally other brass instruments such as the euphonium and tuba, The woodwind section is for all the saxes, clarinets, and more rarely used instruments like the piccolo and Oboe. Any reference, therefore, to a "horn section" is a misnomer.
