Biography Anna Webber / Percussive Mechanics


Anna Webber
Flute and saxophone player Anna Webber is a versatile improviser holding both an open respect for the tradition of jazz and a healthy disregard for its more worn conventions.

Her adventurous first album as a leader, Third Floor People (Nowt Records), was released in 2010 to critical acclaim. She has performed and/or recorded with such diverse talents as Mark Turner, John Hollenbeck, Tony Malaby, John Riley, David Liebman, Ben Street, Lage Lund and Stefon Harris (notably appearing on his 2009 Grammy-nominated album Urbanus). She has toured throughout the USA, Canada, and Europe; is the winner of the Prix François- Marcaurelle 2010 at the OFF Festival of Jazz in Montreal and received national recognition as a finalist in the Mary Lou Williams Saxophone Competition. Originally from British Columbia, Canada, Webber now splits her time between New York City and Berlin.

"Anna Webber is a rare musician that can comfortably combine intellectual curiosity with pure emotion. Each time I’ve performed with her, a completely new sound was revealed. She is confident in her path and I am always anxious of her next moves. A brilliant player.” Jason Moran
