Jez Nelson presents Brooklyn-based saxophonist and flautist Anna Webber in concert in Hamburg with her septet, Percussive Mechanics.

A New Yorker since 2008, Webber grew up in Canada but has become an important figure on the Brooklyn avant-garde scene. Her 2014 trio release, Simple, with pianist Matt Mitchell and the drummer John Hollenbeck, appeared on several album of the year lists in the US, with critics praising her exhilarating, detail-rich writing and drawing comparisons with the likes of Tim Berne and Henry Threadgill.

Incorporating passages of fragile modern chamber music, mesmerising groove and raucous free blowing, Percussive Mechanics also flaunts the variety in Webber's music and demonstrates her knack for keeping listeners on their toes.
