Female sax quartet to perform at women's 'Herstory' event
The Advocate
Women’s “Herstory” month is bringing The Quadraphonnes, an all-female saxophone quartet, to the Fireplace Lounge in the College Center March 31 from noon to 1 p.m.
Accompanying the quartet on her own saxophone will be MHCC jazz director Susie Jones, who said she is excited to be performing with the group.
The group consists of four female saxophone players and comes with a list of performances including the Portland Jazz Festival, Mt. Hood Jazz Festival and the Portland Blues Festival.
According to the myspace page for the group, they play a “blend of traditional and modern jazz tunes, modern rock/pop/funk songs, and chamber pieces – ranging from baroque to contemporary, and up–and–coming arrangements of original tunes.”
Their sound is like “four saxophones tearin’ it up or a lovely string quartet or some kind of crazy rock band,” according to their website.
