FEATURING:
Andrea will appear with her longtime quartet with Michael Howell, Ken Filiano, and Michael TA Thompson.
Andrea Wolper has been described as "a giant singer" (In Tune International) with "an inventive, thrilling, appealing musical vision" (Blogcritics) who "brings songs to life, whatever their source, working in a milieu that begins with jazz and reaches out to embrace an expressive area that is uniquely her own" (International Review of Music). Andrea performs regularly in the New York area, and tours in the U.S. and abroad. She is one of the "great jazz singers" included in Scott Yanow's book, "The Jazz Singers: The Ultimate Guide.” Her 3rd CD as leader, "Parallel Lives" (Jazzed Media), was on several best-of-year lists. She's been described as "easily superior to the ever expanding population in the singer/songwriter category" (Cadence), and one of her original songs is among the top five most-downloaded mp3s of all time at AllAboutJazz.com. In addition to leading her own groups, Andrea appears with Jay Clayton's Different Voices, holds the vocal chair in Art Lillard's Heavenly Big Band, and recently appeared in the late Will Connell's Horace Tapscott/Eurydice project. She is the recipient of a Helene Wurlitzer Foundation artist's fellowship (2015). “She pulls you into her spell. . . Keep an eye out for her name. She's well worth a visit to whatever nightspot is hosting her.” (BistroAwards.com)
