Andrew Schwandt Quintet at Jazz Central Studios

Born and raised in Minnesota, Andrew has been playing professionally since the age of 17, beginning his career in the show bands of a number of different cruise ships. He has called the Twin Cities area home since the early 2000s, and since then, has appeared with many of the top players in town.

Currently, he can be seen regularly with a number of different groups including Story City, Steeling Dan, Kolaberate, Big Walter Smith, and Fuzzy Math among other projects.

Andrew is highly influenced by the music of Dexter Gordon, John Coltrane, Chris Potter, Bob Mintzer, and Michael Brecker. If you’ve checked out any of his solo transcription videos on YouTube, you’ll know that much of his practice time on the instrument is devoted to learning the styles of these players. If you have any questions about his practice or playing, feel free to contact him using the link above....
