Will Anderson
Called a “virtuoso on clarinet and saxophone” (New York Times), Washington, D.C. native and Juilliard graduate Will Anderson serves as the lead saxophonist in the Grammy-Winning Vince Giordano’s Nighthawks. He's performed with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, David Ostwald’s Louis Armstrong Eternity Band, Wycliffe Gordon, Wynton Marsalis, and Cecile McLorin Salvant. Anderson can be heard and seen in the films and TV series Boardwalk Empire, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Killers of The Flower Moon, and Revolutionary Road. Along with his twin brother Peter, Will has headlined at Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, The Blue Note, Birdland, The New Orleans Jazz Festival, and on Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion. The Washington Post called their music “imaginatively unfolding in ways that consistently bring a fresh perspective to classic jazz.” The Anderson brothers have created, produced, and starred in eight sold-out off-broadway productions at Manhattan's 59E59 Theaters. They raised over $25,000 to establish the Joe Temperley Juilliard Student Scholarship Fund and tribute album in honor of their late great saxophone mentor.
