THE TIPTONS are a sax quartet with drums, 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 special guest drummer Chris Stromquist. The TIPTONS are an active internationally touring ensemble. They will be performing new works from their upcoming release The Laws of Motion (Zipa!/Spoot Music) and will be touring Europe in May and June 2008.
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.
