The Classy Four saxophone quartet was founded in fall 1996. The band, of which all four members are women, is playing one of the most popular instrument of our age, the saxophone in a classical grouping – soprano, alt, tenor and baritone, allowing full musical representation and also an opportunity to solo performances for each instrument.

The repertoire consists of old classics and contemporary compositions as well. The band is proud to have been the first to play Figyes Hidas saxophone quartet in Hungary. But the so-called classical repertoire including world-famous arrangements of blues, ragtime pieces, motion picture tunes and well-known songs, is the main focus of the band. The band plays these pieces in clubs, parties, organized events and smaller concerts. But there have been many occasions, mainly in jazz festivals, when to make the sound and the show even more colorful, a percussion trio joined the band. The arrangements played on these occasions were written especially for Classy Four.

There also were many opportunities for the band to play in the media. The most notable of these is the “Classical and Jazz” show of the Hungarian Radio. In these performances next to easy listening pieces, the band also played the clarinet, the bassoon and the flute.

Classy Four has played in nearly all TV channels, has been the topic of many articles in newspapers and the members also published writings in specialized magazines.

But ultimately the most important acknowledgement of the qualities of the band is the fact that the best jazz musicians of the Hungarian musical scene cherish the band and support its existence and its future by making joint concerts at jazz festivals and saxophone shows – which is a wonderful opportunity for Classy Four to prove its accomplishment.
