A singular voice in contemporary jazz, critics call Andrea Wolper a “brilliant musical story-teller,” “superior songwriter,” and “terrific arranger.” Her expressive performances blend swinging tunes, deeply-felt ballads, original compositions, and imaginatively arranged songs from various genres into 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, and she tours in the U.S. and abroad. In addition to leading her own groups, she records and performs for other artists across jazz genres, including bass icon William Parker and the late vocal innovator Jay Clayton. Reviewers called Andrea’s most recent recording, “Wanderlust” (2024) “magnificent,” “exceptional,” “exquisite,” “a pure vocal jazz album at its very best.” andreawolper.com. “There's a light in Wolper's voice that illuminates even the darkest moments.”
