about

“… More than 30 years along, the Tiptons Saxophone Quartet and Drums are sounding better than ever. Inspired by countless memorable collaborations with musicians from around the world, this group is setting a high bar for arrangements and compositions featuring multiple horns. Their powerful, confident sound combines jazz and classical music with funk and folk music from the broad reach of humanity.” Abe Beeson, KNKX Seattle Public Radio

THE TIPTONS SAX QUARTET released Strange Flower on their own label, Zipa!/Spoot Music. It features 12 songs penned by each of the players, inspired by the lonely echo of train whistles at night, scientific findings on bees from Harper’s Magazine, and covering genres from micro-Big Band to Gospel, Bluegrass to Balkan, Whimsical Jazz to Nocturnal Funk. These diverse styles are unified by the Tiptons’ solid instrumental and vocal talent, forged from over 20 years of collaboration.
