About Me |
|
The Andy Morris Quartet is an experienced jazz and function band consisting of saxophone / flute / clarinet / vocals, piano, bass / vocals and drums. We have played music for many different occasions to a high professional standard. Be it a Wedding, Corporate event, Masonic ladies festival or Private party we are able to supply your needs. Whilst swinging jazz is a hallmark of the band we are more than just a jazz band. Our repertoire covers popular melodic tunes from the 20s to the 00s including classic 50s Rock and Roll, Pop and Soul from the 70s and 80s and the more modern styles associated with artists such as Kenny G. This gives the band a great versatility. With a noise level that does not inhibit guests’ conversation, the band can provide background music during a reception or meal, turning to a livelier sound for dance music for all ages when appropriate. We are happy to discuss any special requirements or requests as we have a vast library of music we can select from. The Andy Morris Quartet can also be reduced in size to a solo sax with backing tracks, sax and piano duo or trio without the bass / vocals or augmented e.g. solo vocalist, trumpet and / or saxophones added, if the occasion is suitable. For my other sites please see myspace.com/woodwindplayerFor my personal sites please see andymorris.co.uktheandymorrisquartet.co.ukThis is a sample of the type of music we perform on gigs. We are also happy to do requests as we are a very versatile band.
