originally published: 07/18/2024

(TEANECK, NJ) -- Andrea Wolper, a notable figure in the New York jazz scene, is set to grace the stage at the Puffin Cultural Forum on Saturday, July 27, 2024 at 7:00pm. Known for headlining at esteemed venues such as the Blue Note, Dizzy's Club, and Birdland, Andrea Wolper has also previously served as President of International Women in Jazz, and served on the Advisory Board of the Jazz Vocal Coalition.

Her versatile performance career spans not only solo projects but also collaborations with a diverse array of jazz luminaries, from vocal innovator Jay Clayton to free jazz icon William Parker, and the traditional sounds of the Heavenly Big Band. Andrea’s contributions to the genre have earned her a place in Scott Yanow’s authoritative guide, "The Jazz Singers: The Ultimate Guide" (Backbeat Books), where she is noted as “a terrific arranger” and praised for her “easily superior” songwriting.

Currently promoting her latest album, "Wanderlust" (Moonflower Music 2024), Andrea Wolper continues to captivate audiences and critics alike. The album, her fourth as a leader, is already making waves on the jazz radio charts, described by reviewers as “magnificent,” “truly exceptional,” and a strong contender for year-end accolades. Andrea’s voice has been celebrated as “exquisitely masterful,” capable of bringing songs to life with her unique musical storytelling.

Accompanying Andrea Wolper at the Puffin Cultural Forum will be the accomplished Nicki Adams on piano and the versatile Ken Filiano on bass. Both musicians are esteemed collaborators who bring depth and creativity to Andrea’s performances.

The Puffin Cultural Forum, a project of The Puffin Foundation Ltd., is a gallery and performance space located at the site of the Foundation’s administrative offices in Teaneck, New Jersey. The Forum’s work takes place at the intersection of the arts and the struggle for human rights as they seek to realize the Foundation’s governing motto: “…continuing the dialogue between art and the lives of ordinary people.”

The Puffin Cultural Forum strives to bring thoughtful, and socially-relevant arts programming to Teaneck and all of the surrounding communities in the form of art exhibitions, music, dance, theater, author interviews, workshops, film series, lectures, and dialogues. The Forum deeply believes in the crucial role that the arts play in shaping our consciousness, and the role of artists as agents of social change.

Since its founding in 1983, the Puffin Foundation has sought to open the doors of artistic expression by providing grants to artists and art organizations who are often excluded from mainstream opportunities due to their race, gender, or social philosophy.
