With her jazzer's chops and satisfyingly eclectic songlist, soulful expressiveness and spirited sense of adventure, Andrea Wolper has been winning national and international audiences. Blending great standard repertoire, original songs and music from unexpected sources with influences from the blues to middle eastern harmonies, pop to poetry, she and her group invite listeners along for a ride through intimate musical journeys and surprising, often humorous, adventures.
Andrea plays with some of the most exciting and respected instrumentalists in New York and beyond. By 1998 her core trio evolved to include guitarist Michael Howell and bassist Ken Filiano, with Ron Affif later stepping into the guitar slot. Andrea's most recent recording, "The Small Hours" (VarisOne.Jazz), is built around this trio with Wolper, Affif, and Filiano. Produced by Todd Barkan, the CD also features drummers Victor Lewis and Jamey Haddad, and guest artists Lou Marini (flute) and Frank London (trumpet and flugelhorn). The CD, with Andrea's arrangements of standard and non-standard music, as well as her own compositions, continues to receive high critical praise .
"... her voice is clear and rich and she slides off the ebat just enough to really swing while her backing trio is inventive and tight... Andrea Wolper seems to really understand the nuances of jazz singing." (Jerome Wilson, Cadence)
