On the heels of a month of touring in the U.S. and Sicily, jazz singer Andrea Wolper looks forward to returning to Jazz on Main, with Amanda Monaco on guitar and Ken Filiano on bass.
A singular voice in contemporary vocal jazz, audiences describe Andrea’s performances as "joyful, witty, and artistic” and “delightfully inspiring: a cozy musical universe filled with light, depth, intimacy, and authenticity.”
Members of the jazz press praise Andrea as a “brilliant musical story-teller,” “superior songwriter,” and “terrific arranger” with an “inventive, thrilling, appealing musical vision.” Reviewers called her most recent recording, <i>Wanderlust</i>, “magnificent,” “exquisite,” “exceptional”—“a pure vocal jazz album at its very best.”
A mainstay of the New York jazz scene, Andrea has headlined in top clubs including the Blue Note, Dizzy’s Club, Birdland, Mezzrow, the 55 Bar, and innumerable others. In addition to leading her own groups, she records and performs for other artists across the jazz spectrum, including the straight ahead Heavenly Big Band, bass icon William Parker, and the late vocal innovator Jay Clayton.
An active educator, Andrea teaches vocal development and jazz singing in her private studio, has taught numerous workshops at the California Jazz Conservatory, JazzVoice.com, and other institutions, and is on the teaching roster at the New School in her New York City home base.
Join Andrea, "wonderful jazz guitar sorceress" Amanda Monaco, and "creative virtuoso" bassist Ken Filiano for an evening that will get your feet tapping and bring a smile to your heart. “There's a light in Wolper's voice that illuminates even the darkest moments.” andreawolper.com
