THE TIPTONS SAXOPHONE QUARTET & DRUMS are an
internationally renowned all-female saxophone quartet with drums. 
Amy Denio (alto sax, clarinet, voice) is joined by co-leader Jessica Lurie (soprano/alto/tenor sax, voice), Sue Orfield
(tenor sax, voice), Tina Richerson (baritone sax, voice) and Robert Kainar
(drums, percussion) from Salzburg, Austria. The Tiptons' material ranges from
micro-Big Band to Gospel, Bluegrass to Balkan, whimsical Chamber Jazz, and
nocturnal Funk to Free Jazz Improvisation using saxophones, clarinet, their
voices, drums, and inventive percussion to create a genre-busting ‘world
soul’ sound. The band takes its name in honor of Billy Tipton, a female-born
saxophonist who lived their life as a man in the 20th century to realize their
dreams as a professional musician.
