Project Bio
Teeter is a jazz quartet featuring Miranda Agnew (trumpet), Naomi Nakanishi (piano), David Macchione (bass), and Alex Yoo (drums).
Since Summer 2024, the ensemble has been workshopping Miranda’s compositions, which explore topics ranging from the emotions surrounding her move to New York City to her love of Sci-Fi/Fantasy books. Each piece features intricate counterpoint, shifting rhythmic foundations, and rich harmonic structures.
Members of teeter approach the music with strong creative momentum, creating no shortage of exciting moments and a sense of freedom.
Teeter made their debut in August 2024 at a well attended show at All Street Gallery on the Lower East Side.
Individually, members of Teeter have played at Roulette (NYC), the Jazz Gallery (NYC), Birdland (NYC), Jamboree (Barcelona) and Bimhuis (Amsterdam). They have received various accolades including Next Jazz Legacy SemiFinalist (Naomi, 2023/24 and Miranda, 2023), and a MacDowell Fellowship (Miranda, 2025).
