Combining the styles of Nordic and American jazz, the Adele Sauros Quartet was founded in 2012 and has released four albums Adele Sauros: Your Special Loss (Fresh Sounds Records 2024), Adele Sauros: I Paint You (Fresh Sound Records 2021, with an additional horn section and horn soloists), Adele Sauros: My Spontaneous Mind (2016) and Adele Sauros Quartet: It's Who I Am (2014). The worldwide album release tour of the latest album 'Your Special Loss' took place in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Spain in the spring of 2024. Before the latest album they have performed at the most important jazz festivals in Finland and in the Nordic countries. The band also recently represented Finland at the Nordic Jazz Comets event at the Montmartre Jazz Club in Copenhagen 2022 that led them touring in Sweden.
Sauros' melodic and modern contemporary jazz compositions draw influences from the Nordic and American jazz tradition. The members of the group are established and virtuosic jazz musicians with open minds and the courage to deviate from the usual patterns and throw themselves into spontaneous improvisation.

Adele Sauros Quartetin neljäs albumi 'Your Special Loss' julkaistiin maaliskuussa 2024 Espanjalaisen Fresh Sound Records -levy-yhtiön toimesta. Kansainvälinen levynjulkaisukiertue toteutettiin Suomessa, Ruotsissa, Norjassa, Tanskassa ja Espanjassa keväällä ja kesällä 2024. Nyt Sauros esintyy uudella kokoonpanolla esittäen uutta ennen julkaisematonta musiikkia.
Palkittu saksofonisti Adele Sauros on yksi tämän hetken aktiivisimmista jazz-muusikoista ja säveltäjistä Suomessa ja Euroopassa. Pohjoismaisen ja amerikkalaisen jazzin tyylejä yhdistelevä Adele Sauros Quartet on perustettu vuonna 2012 ja se on julkaissut levyt Adele Sauros: Your Special Loss (Fresh Sounds Records 2024), Adele Sauros: I Paint You (Fresh Sound Records 2021), Adele Sauros: My Spontaneous Mind (2016) ja Adele Sauros Quartet: It's Who I Am (2014). Ennen viimeisintä albumia esiintymisiä on ollut Suomen merkittävimmillä jazz-festivaaleilla sekä Pohjoismaissa. Yhtye edusti Suomea Nordic Jazz Comets tapahtumassa Montmartre Jazz Klubilla Kööpenhaminassa 2022 ja teki tapahtumaan tiimoilta Suomen Jazz-liiton järjestämän kiertueen Ruotsissa.
Sauroksen melodiset ja vakavat sävellykset ammentavat vaikutteita pohjoismaisen ja amerikkalaisen jazzin perinteestä. Sauros uskoo sävelten voivan muuttaa maailmaa jos tekee taidetta omin ehdoin kuten Adele Sauros Quartet. Yhtyeen jäsenet ovat virtuoottisia jazz-muusikoita joilla on avoimet mielet sekä uskallusta poiketa myös totutuista kaavoista ja heittäytyä improvisoimaan spontaanisti.
