THE TIPTONS are an internationally renowned all-female saxophone quartet with drums co-founded by Amy Denio in 1988, and celebrating their 30th anniversary as a sax quartet in 2018! The members are based in Seattle, New York, and Eau Claire. Their name honors Billy Tipton, a woman saxophonist posing as a man in the 20th C. Their ‘world soul’ genre-busting sound ranges from micro-Big Band to Gospel, Bluegrass to Balkan, whimsical Jazz to Nocturnal Funk to Free Jazz.
