New York-based flute and saxophone player Anna is a versatile improviser holding both an open respect for the tradition of jazz and a healthy disregard for its more worn conventions.  Her critically acclaimed first album as a leader, Third Floor People (Nowt Records, 2010), is an adventurous release featuring two bassless quartets – one from Montreal, the other from New York. Made up of musicians drawing from diverse influences and backgrounds, Third Floor People is unique in its palpable emotional energy and fearless experimentation. In addition to leading her quartets, Anna also plays in the collective Field Vision; the Martin Krümmling Ensemble, which recently recorded with Mark Turner; the Daniel Jamieson Danjam Orchestra, in which Webber performed with Tony Malaby as well as Jim McNeely and recorded with Village Vanguard Jazz Orchestra mainstay John Riley; the Ben Bryden Flying Scot Quintet and Fabian Almazan’s wind sextet, among many others.  She appears on the Grammy-nominated album Urbanus (Concord Records, 2009) by Stefon Harris & Blackout, and has performed with such diverse talents as John Hollenbeck, David Liebman, Ben Street, Lage Lund, and Dave Douglas. She has toured throughout the USA, Canada, and Europe as a leader and a sideperson. She is the winner of the Prix François-Marcaurelle 2010 at the OFF Festival of Jazz in Montreal. She received national recognition as a finalist in the Mary Lou Williams Saxophone Competition in Washington, D.C. In addition, she has been honoured with grants from both the Canada Council for the Arts and the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec.

Daniel is a versatile musician, composer, and educator. He began playing saxophone at age 11, and has since expanded his repertoire to include multiple woodwind instruments. Originally from midcoast Maine, Daniel has been based primarily out of New York since 2008 when he began his studies at Purchase College. Daniel looks forward to remaining an active teacher in the tri-state area, and a return to Purchase College, this time as a graduate student and he has also recently moved full-time to New York City!

I am a flutist originating from New Jersey, but now living in Queens. I graduated with a Bachelors in Music Education and Performance from Manhattanville College and I am currently pursuing my Masters in Music with a concentration in Ethnomusicology from Hunter College. I can be found frequently performing on the flute and the alto saxophone in and around the New York City area. I have been fortunate enough to study with great teachers who have a gift for inspiration, and I have been actively trying to pass this passion on to the next generation of musicians. Because of this, I keepe a busy teaching schedule, accumulating students from New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut, traveling to my studio in Queens.

I love helping my students find their paths on their instruments and in music.  Through finding their paths and following their inspiration I impart proper music techniques and ideals.  I hold a Masters Degree from the Manhattan School of Music and a Bachelors Degree from Berklee College of Music.  I'm an active performer and have performed with groups on Captiol and Warner Brothers Records.  I have performed extensively throughout the USA, Canada, and Europe.
