About Me



Andy Scott's SaxAssault features 9 saxophones from sopranino to bass, backed by grooves from a 4 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.

The group’s new album ‘Sax of Gold’ features 8 new compositions and guest appearances from US sax star Bob Mintzer and piano sensation Gwilym Simcock.

Members of SaxAssault are all highly respected players in their fields and play with the likes of Supertramp, Duran Duran, Jamie Cullum, The BBC Big Band, Halle Orchestra, Michael Nyman Band, Shirley Bassey and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra to name just a few.
