Andrew Neu

SMOOTH JAZZ SAXOPHONIST
AND BIG BAND LEADER / COMPOSER

Philadelphia, PA

By blending a unique mix of jazz, R&B, classical and Latin music, Andrew Neu is one of the most exciting, multi-genre musicians today. He is well respected throughout the industry for his work as a saxophonist, woodwind player, arranger, composer, educator and Billboard charting recording artist. Having toured the world with Bobby Caldwell, Diane Schuur and
Smokey Robinson, Neu learned from the best!

After releasing four contemporary jazz CDs, 2018 marked the debut of Andrew’s big band jazz album, “Catwalk” featuring soloists Rick Braun, Randy Brecker, Gordon Goodwin, Eric Marienthal and Bob Mintzer. His arrangements have been played by The Airmen of Note, The Count Basie Orchestra, Bobby Sanabria (Grammy nominated album), Janis Siegel, Bobby Caldwell and The Bernie Dresel Big Band.

The Andrew Neu Big Band (ANBB) features all of Andrew’s compositions and arrangements.

The music is inspired by the great big band jazz of the 60s and 70s, continuing the legacy left by Basie, Maynard, Buddy, Woody and Quincy. The band is made up of full time musicians at the top of their game that perform and record for every major artist and ensemble in the Philadelphia / NYC area. Notable soloists in the band include Scott Blanke, Keith Chasin, Tony Desantis, Olivia Hughart, Sean McCusker and Chris Oatts. The trumpet section is anchored by renowned lead player, Craig Kenney.

Andrew returned to smooth jazz in 2022, releasing 5 chart topping singles that have been in heavy rotation on Sirius XM Watercolors. He has been featured as a performer or horn arranger on top 5 Billboard recordings from Blake Aaron, Lisa Addeo, Carol Albert, Brian Bromberg, Adam Hawley, David Sanborn and Peter White. Additionally, Andrew contributed to recent singles from Paul Brown, Tommy Davidson, Dave Koz, Freddie Fox, Aubrey Logan, Michael Paulo, Roberto Restuccia, Jeff Ryan, Les Sabler, Roberto Vally and Rob Zinn.
