Webber/Morris Big Band, now in its ninth season, rejuvenates the legacy of jazz big band with performances of adventurous new works for curious audiences. Co-leaders Anna Webber and Angela Morris compose vital, innovative repertoire that incorporates a jazz lineage with the extended techniques of modern improvisers and the compositional breadth of new music. Their debut album, Both Are True, was released in 2020 to critical acclaim, including being named as one of the top ten jazz albums of 2020 by the New York Times. Performances celebrate the unique current of jazz musicians in Brooklyn, as fluent in exacting notated music as a variety of improvisational languages.

The band heads into the studio directly after this concert at the Jazz Gallery, which will feature Anna Webber’s Just Intonation suite for big band and the NY premiere of a new piece by Morris.
