Info zu Refraction
Anna Webber und Ihr siebenköpfiges, junges Ensemble spielt auch die kniffligsten Dinge mit hinreißender Schönheit und Lebendigkeit. Und wie im Titel der CD schillert auch in Anna Webbers Stücken viel Witz und schöner Hintersinn. Die Art, wie sie und ihre vorzüglichen Band-Mitglieder hier den Jazz bereichern, taugt zu ungemein aufregenden Erlebnissen für Hörer mit entdeckungsfreudigen Ohren: Transparente Klänge voller Überraschungen in glänzend gespielten Stücken, die manchmal knifflig sind, aber stets vor jazzgemäßer Spontaneität nur so sprühen.

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
