Kim Cypher is one of the most versatile and experienced female saxophonists in the South West, having developed her own unique ‘funky’ style of playing, built upon influences by great players such as Gerald Albright, Maceo Parker, Pee Wee Ellis, Andy Sheppard, Dean Fraser, Courtney Pine and Grover Washington. Her continued tuition and support from the amazing British Jazz saxophonist Andy Sheppard and American saxophonist Pee Wee Ellis (saxophonist with James Brown and Van Morrison), allows Kim to continue to develop and improve her playing style and technique.
Kim started playing saxophone at age 9 and achieved Grade 8 practical and theory of music with distinction by age 14.
Kim formed Dancin’ Easy, one of the South West’s busiest and most popular party bands, along with her husband and drummer, Mike, over 20 years ago.
