Jazz brothers Peter and Will Anderson return to Brandon Music

Saturday, July 29, 7:30 p.m.—BRANDON—Juilliard trained identical twins Peter and Will Anderson have headlined the Blue Note, Kennedy Center, and New Orleans Jazz Festival, playing “with a passion, unpredictability, and sense of discovery,” said All About Jazz. On July 29 at 7:30 p.m., they return to Brandon Music to play their exciting renditions of American Songbook gems, infectious swing and blues, Brazilian Bossa Nova, Afro-Cuban hits, classical adaptations, and fresh original music. Their recent release, “Reed Reflections,” was called by the Washington Post, “imaginatively unfolding in ways that consistently bring a fresh perspective to classic jazz tunes.” They will be joined by guitar phenomenon Alex Wintz.

The Anderson’s have performed with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Village Vanguard Orchestra, Jimmy Heath Big Band, Wycliffe Gordon, Cecile McLorin Salvant, Paquito D’Rivera, Kenny Barron, Bob Wilber, Albert “Tootie” Heath, live on Garrison Keillor’s “Prairie Home Companion,” and are featured on the 2014 Grammy Winning Soundtrack of HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire” with Vince Giordano’s Nighthawks.

This event is a part of Vermont Arts 2017, celebrating public funding for the arts.

Concert tickets are $20. A pre-concert dinner is available for $25. Reservations are required for dinner and recommended for the show. Venue is BYOB. Call 802-247-4295 for reservations or for more information. Brandon Music is located at 62 Country Club Road, Brandon.
