About this concert
Andy Sheppard has established himself as one of Britain’s foremost tenor and soprano saxophonists.
Andy Sheppard Quartets serves as a vehicle for Sheppard to reflect on past, present, and future compositional endeavours.
It is a homage to one's own identity through time, embracing a block universe philosophy, in which all musical works from different eras coexist at once on the stage at a given time.
Few artists enjoy such a vast musical output as Andy. A musician with an unceasingly evolving nature, writing for diverse settings from solo to Big Band and chamber music, this extraordinary versatility is reflected in his extensive discography.

Such a great concert! Beautiful compositions and excellent soloists. A rhythmical piano paired with a melodic saxophone and Bass. Excellent drum accompaniment- I loved the “brushes” sound 😉🤗
