Description: Anna Patton: clarinetist, composer, and teacher from Brattleboro, Vermont
Anna Patton plays clarinet with great verve, clarity, and harmonic whim, drawing on a richly eclectic musical background of jazz, classical, traditional, and world music. Based in Brattleboro, VT, she performs full time for dances and concerts, composes and arranges music, and teaches ear training and swing harmony singing.
Anna’s current projects include playing dance music with bands such as Elixir and The Figments, string-band and vocal swing with Housetop , Brazilian and Django jazz gigs with The Will Patton Ensemble , and improvisatory Balkan/ African/ South American influenced originals with the As Yet Quintet . Her solo album, Isadore’s Breakfast – featuring her work on clarinet and vocals along with many of Vermont’s finest musicians – is a mix of French-influenced swing and fiddle tunes.
