Peter & Will Anderson

”Virtuosos on clarinet and saxophone,” (New York Times) Bethesda, Maryland natives Peter and Will Anderson at a very young age were drawn to the music of Charlie Parker, Lester Young, and John Coltrane. They toured the United Kingdom at age 15, and after several years of study with saxophonist Paul Carr, Peter and Will attended Juilliard in New York City, where they currently reside. They’ve performed with jazz greats Jimmy Heath, James Moody, Hank Jones, Clark Terry, Frank Wess and Benny Golson.

Their ensemble has performed in twenty-six U.S. States, toured Japan, and featured four times in the famed “Highlights in Jazz” series, alongside legends Lou Donaldson, the Heath Brothers, and Wycliffe Gordon. Peter and Will released The Music of the Soprano Masters with Bob Wilber and Correspondence, featuring Kenny Barron, which was listed by Vanity Fair magazine in “Four New Releases to Make You Love Jazz.” Featuring guitarist Alex Wintz, the Anderson’s Trio recently released Reed Reflections, which the Washington Post calls “imaginatively unfolding in ways that consistently bring a fresh perspective to classic jazz tunes.” Peter and Will’s newest album of original music, Deja Vu, will feature Albert “Tootie” Heath, to be released in April 2015.
