Andy has an impressive musical background, having released albums with major labels like Island Records, Blue Note, Verve, Provocateur, and ECM (which he considers his “spiritual home”).
His new band, QUARTETS, allows Andy to connect his past, present, and future music as well as bring older compositions back into his performances – creating new versions through improvisation and exploration of new musical directions.
His new compositions for this saxophone and guitar-led band, reflect both his personal musical style and his life-long love of the guitar.

Andy Sheppard
Andy Sheppard bought his first Saxophone at the age of nineteen after being introduced to the jazz music of John Coltrane. He has since established himself as one of Britain’s foremost tenor and soprano saxophonists. During the late eighties, the British Jazz Awards awarded him not only best newcomer but best instrumentalist, best album and best big band. Known as a serial collaborator, Andy Sheppard has worked with some of the biggest names in jazz and is in huge demand for both his composing and arranging skills and for his legendary live performances.
