THE TIPTONS NEW CD DRIVE AVAILABLE ON THIS SITE, AT SHOWS AND ON THE WEB AT www.cdbaby.net http://www.myspace.com/tiptons http://www.tiptonssaxquartet.com THE TIPTONS: “... Minute precision, solid arrangements, an excellent control of dynamics, a multi-stylized repertoire, and sparkling execution. ... (and) their unique singing style creates shapes and timbres that move into experimental jazz. It is truly a beautiful lesson of what is vital in jazz, inviting, crossing genres, filled with radical thought that can be maintained without losing its tenderness.” "The Tiptons have built a solid reputation as a stellar live band, capable of alternating ferocious with delicate, driving with subtle.”Martin Johnson, PULSE! "Looser than the 29th Street, more in than out as ROVA, and hipper than World, this sax quartet is a groove." "...The Billy Tipton Memorial Saxophone Quartet trooped onstage lugging their arsenal of horns...They unleashed powerhouse unisons, hammering riffs, contrapuntally controlled chaos, fierce counterpoint and sharp solos on a program that ranged from Carla Bley to Los Lobos, from klezmer to Sun Ra." Paul De Barros, Down Beat THE TIPTONS are an all-female sax quartet with percussion, based in New York and Seattle. The group features Jessica Lurie and Amy Denio, original members and lead composers of the internationally renowned Billy Tipton Memorial Saxophone Quartet (BTMSQ), along with Sue Orfield, Tina Richerson and drummer Faith Stankevich. Following their 2004 release of TSUNAMI, they were featured on "The Next Big Thing" (National Public Radio), busking in the subway of New York. Since then, they’ve performed at festivals throughout North America and and have toured Europe 4 times (70 concerts!) In October 2005, they self-released DRIVE, a fantastic, dynamic and lush new CD of original material. It includes one cover song from New Orleans, featuring special guest Artis the Spoonman. With a repertoire that ranges from New Orleans “second - line” to jazz, Afro-Cuban to Balkan, klezmer and beyond, the Tiptons create some of the wildest sounds ever to come out of a sax quartet. Their dynamic, playful concerts feature high-energy interaction between members, and a repertoire that touches on soulful music from around the world.
