”Virtuosos on clarinet and
saxophone,” (New York Times) Maryland natives
Peter and Will Anderson were drawn to jazz at a very young age. While
still teenagers, they toured the United Kingdom, performed on Capitol Hill, and
were featured on television. After studying with saxophonist Paul Carr,
Peter and Will attended Juilliard in New York City, where they
currently reside. They’ve performed with jazz greats James Moody,
Hank Jones, Clark Terry, Frank Wess and Benny Golson.
Peter and Will have headlined at The
Blue Note, Jazz at Lincoln Center, D.C.’s The Kennedy Center, the
New Orleans Jazz Festival, Sarasota, Florida Jazz Festival, South Carolina’s Jazz
Corner, Seattle’s Triple Door, Iowa’s Bix Beiderbecke Festival, Miami-Dade’s
Cultural Arts Center, and the Arizona Music Festival. Their ensemble
has performed in 30 U.S. States, toured Japan, and been featured
four times in the famed “Highlights in Jazz” series, alongside legends Lou
Donaldson, Jimmy Heath, and Wycliffe Gordon.
Peter and Will’s 2012 debut
release, Correspondence, featuring Kenny Barron, was chosen by Vanity
Fair magazine alongside Miles Davis in “Four New Releases to
Make You Love Jazz.” Most recently, Peter and Will are featured on
JAZZIZ Magazine’s Winter 2014 CD Soundtrack. Outfitted with a guitarist,
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,
features Albert “Tootie” Heath, and was released in April 2015.
