about

• Expressive warmth meets sophisticated cool, as Andrea synthesizes disparate influences into a very individual sound. She starts with jazz traditions, stirs in a generous serving of blue, and adds enough spice to win over jazz listeners of varying tastes, from those who enjoy a fresh take on a familiar song, to those with an ear for adventure.

• Songs for people who want to hear both where jazz singing comes from and where it is today. The album seamlessly blends music from a variety of sources, such as the evergreen “Skylark,” Andrea’s haunting arrangement of a song from Broadway’s “Spring Awakening,” a revisited Buffy Sainte-Marie ballad, and originals like her saucy, swinging “The Girls in Their Dresses.”

• “Parallel Lives” stays with the production team (Todd Barkan, here as co-producer; Katherine Miller, recording engineer) from Andrea’s last, highly acclaimed, release, “The Small Hours” (VarisOne.Jazz), which was widely praised for its excellent sound quality and singular attributes: Andrea’s warmth and emotional bravery, her strong songwriting and unique arrangements, her ability to make music from different eras and genres hang together and seem entirely her own.
