(Classic Jazz) Adelphi Saxophone Quartet - Simply Four Saxophones - 1998, MP3, 320 kbps

The Adelphi Saxophone Quartet has rapidly established itself as one of Britain's finest chamber ensembles. Formed in 1990, while all the members were studying at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, they are one of the few ensembles to have graduated from the college with distinction in professional performance. Since then they have had a string of notable successes. In 1994, the Quartet received a major award from the John Tunnell Trust, 1995 saw them perform as part of the Park Lane Group's Young Artists Series and in 1997 they were finalists in the Royal Overseas League Competition. They regularly give recitals and educational workshops throughout Britain- venues include London's Purcell Room, Barbican Centre, St James's, Piccadilly and St Martin-in-the Fields, and Manchester's Bridgewater Hall.
In 2000 they were guest recitalists at the World Saxophone Congress in Montreal, Canada, as well as the British Saxophone Congress in London. They have been invited to the New England Saxophone Symposium in Massachusetts, USA in 2002. The Adelphi Saxophone Quartet has broadcast live on Radio 3, Classic fM and Granada Television.Their debut CD, "Simply four Saxophones", was released in 1998 with EMI and has, in the first two years of sales sold more than 8,000 copies worldwide.
The quartet's imaginative and diverse programmes contain an exciting blend of classical repertoire, contemporary works, light music and jazz. Committed to providing varied and exciting performances, the Adelphi Saxophone Quartet is looking forward to commissioning new music.
