Tiptons Saxophone Quartet & Drums

The Tiptons Saxophone Quartet & Drums's 15th album “Live in Portland” is out now on Sowiesound Records, Austria for streaming, and on CD and LP! This high-voltage album captures this intrepid all-women sax quartet’s energy, playful interplay and exceptional musicianship experienced during their sold-out concert at Jack London Revue in Portland, Oregon in March 2025.

Live In Portland represents the Tiptons Sax Quartet & Drums doing what they do best: transforming an empty room into a beautiful haven of community when they play.
