The Apollo Saxophone Quartet is internationally recognised as one of Britain's leading contemporary music ensembles. The Apollo Sax Quartet celebrate their 25th Anniversary in 2011 with a release of a new CD of Apollo commissions, featuring works from Keith Tippett, Dinuk Wijeratne, Michael Ball and Bob Mintzer, continuing the rich legacy of high quality, ground breaking music that this unique, genre leading ensemble has brought into being. The ASQ has always thrived by creating the soundworld in which it operates, always innovating, always leading, always moving on to the next project without looking back, and the next 25 years are set to continue in the same vein! Andy Scott’s Sax Assault features nine saxophones from sopranio to bass, backed by grooves from a four piece rhythm section. Saxophonist and award winning composer Andy Scott ingeniously tailors his compositions to combine the talents of some of the best UK saxophonists from jazz, pop and classical genres.
