The Andy Bowie Quartet have an appetite for dusting off and performing rarely heard jazz standards as well as performing well-known and loved ones. Influences include everyone from the mainstream to modern jazz tradition, from Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster, to Charlie Parker, Dexter Gordon, Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, and Wayne Shorter. 

​

The band members are also very influenced by the amazing range of music some of them play in others bands from folk rock, to Bartok and Stravinsky. The Andy Bowie Quartet, having played for the last 13 years nearly every Sunday in various Cambridge venues, regularly renew their repertoire, and have occasional guests from the national and international jazz scene.

​

In celebration of the 100th birth centenary of Thelonious Monk on Nov 11th #jazz100, The Andy Bowie Quartet will perform The Music of Thelonious Monk featuring acclaimed young saxophonist Sam Miles.
