The Tiptons – An All-Women Sax Quartet
With concerts that range from New Orleans “second-line” to jazz, Afro-Cuban to Balkan, klezmer and beyond, The Tiptons create some of the wildest sounds ever to come out of a sax quartet. Named in honor of big band saxophonist and pianist Billy Tipton, following the post-mortem revelation that Tipton was actually a woman who lived as a man for more than 50 years, their dynamic concerts feature high-energy interaction between members, which includes Jessica Lurie and Amy Denio with Sue Orfield, Tina Richerson and drummer Lee Frisari.
701 CCA thanks the following women-owned businesses that are sponsoring The Tiptons’ performance:
Abacus Planning Group – Dianne’s on Devine – HoFP Gallery – The Rackes Group – Resource Associates
The Tiptons performance is a collaboration with bigSphinx Productions.
