A “brilliant musical story-teller\,” a “superior” songwriter and “terrific arranger\,” Andrea’s blend of jazz standards\, original compositions\, and imaginatively arranged songs from a variety of genres add up to “an inventive\, thrilling\, appealing musical vision.” A mainstay of the New York jazz scene\, she has headlined in top clubs including the Blue Note\, Dizzy’s Club\, Birdland\, Mezzrow\, the 55 Bar\, Zinc Bar\, and innumerable others. She tours in the U.S. and abroad\, and also records and performs for other artists across jazz genres\, from the straight ahead Heavenly Big Band to free jazz icon William Parker\, and the late vocal jazz innovator Jay Clayton. Andrea’s recordings as leader\, including her “magnificent\,” “exceptional\,” “masterful” 2024 release\, “Wanderlust\,” can be found at andreawolper.bandcamp.com.
