Band/artist history
The Washington, D.C.- based Windmill Saxophone Quartet was formed in 1984 by local musician Clayton Englar. Drawing from the diverse backgrounds and abilities of each of its members (as performers, composers, and arrangers), this unique and exciting group has a sound all its own.
Windmill has performed at numerous venues in the Washington area since its debut concert at d.c. space in December of 1984. Mr. Englar received a generous performance grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1986 specifically for Windmill.
In September of 1988, Windmill released their first album, "Very Scary" (on the Pathfinder label). This much-anticipated recording included ten of the quartet's best pieces, and met with universally enthusiastic response both from the press and in radio airplay in the U.S. and abroad. It was also nominated for that year's NAIRD (National Association of Independent Record Distributors) Best Jazz Album award.
Windmill took an extended hiatus in 1992, but is now back in action with their new album, appropriately titled "This'n'That".Have you performed in front of an audience?Not too much anymore.
