About / Biography

Partners in life and in music, A & B like experimenting with opposites: acoustic yet aggressive, laid-back yet energetic, lyrical yet unrestrained.

Betty’s classically trained soprano saxophone and singing is eager to explore all avenues of jazz and beyond. Andrea’s guitar, on the other hand, nearly literally beaten up and pushed to its expressive limits, is now condensing its sonic palette into a cohesive story, and borrows from anything from Joe Pass to Pierre Bensusan.


A & B perform a sophisticated set of jazz covers, rearranged folk tunes and songs from the Celtic and Mediterranean repertoire, and breathtaking originals. Perfect for any function or public event requiring that the music leave an impression on the audience.
