Andrea’s sound is nothing short of exquisite, and her fresh interpretations of standards bring comparisons to her inspirations, Chet Baker and Louis Armstrong. In addition to her Barcelona quintet, Andrea is joined for this special performance by the SJW 50/50 Jazz Orchestra, a new ensemble dedicating to establishing gender equality in jazz, and made up of women and men who are among the top artists in the Bay Area. This show is going to swing!
