Jazz: Tad Shull Quartet

Tad Shull is master of the classic tenor sax sound, combining hard swing with an orchestral approach to the horn.
 

Shull is a veteran of the New York City jazz scene with two generations of experience. His style combines the lush tone quality of the classic tenor saxophonists with the risk-taking harmonic approach of hard bop and beyond. After studying with David Liebman and Joseph Allard, Shull worked with the Widespread Depression Jazz Orchestra and the Smithsonian Jazz Repertory Ensemble.

More recently he has fronted his own quartets. He has performed with Roy Eldridge, Dizzy Gillespie, Woody Herman, Eddie Higgins, Milt Hinton, Dave McKenna, Melvin Rhyne, and many others.
