Delta Saxophone Quartet

The Delta Saxophone Quartet, renowned for their adventurous foray into the cross-genre landscapes of contemporary classical, jazz, and avant-garde music, has captivated audiences since its inception in the mid-1980s. Comprised of a dynamic ensemble of saxophonists, the group has skillfully forged a reputation for delivering cutting-edge performances and innovative arrangements. The quartet's members have consistently pushed the boundaries of the saxophone's capabilities, both in ensemble interplay and in exploring the instrument's extensive sonic palette.

Their recent discography is a testament to the Quartet's versatility and willingness to explore complex thematic works. From "Late Music" and its Digital Extra counterpart, which delve into thoughtful compositions reflective of their maturity in musicianship, to the thematic journey through David Bowie's Berlin period in "Bowie, Berlin & Beyond," the ensemble has shown an admirable dedication to conceptual projects. With "Crimson!," they pay homage to the progressive rock giants King Crimson, reimagining their music through the lens of saxophonic textures. Moreover, albums like "Uneasy Dreams" and "Facing Death" showcase their engagement with contemporary classical music, often featuring intricate and challenging pieces that speak to their technical virtuosity and expressive breadth. Albums such as "Minimal Tendencies" capture the group's affinity for minimalism, exploring the genre's repetitive structures and phase patterns, while "Dedicated to you but you weren't listening" is a nod to their jazz influences, touching upon the complexity and spontaneity synonymous with the genre. In every release, the Delta Saxophone Quartet continues to enchant and challenge listeners, solidifying their place as an innovative force within the modern music landscape.
