In the early 2000s, Andrea’s trio with guitarist Ron Affif and Ken Filiano was a fixture at New York jazz clubs and beyond, culminating in the 2005 recording, “The Small Hours” (VarisOne.Jazz). Noted for strong group sound and sympathetic interplay, the CD was lauded as “gorgeous,” “one of the strongest and most interesting vocal efforts of the year.”

In addition to leading her own groups, Andrea has appeared as a side person with artists across jazz genres, from the Heavenly Big Band to Jay Clayton to William Parker, and her recordings as both leader and side person have landed on many "Best of Year" lists. One of the "great jazz singers" in "The Jazz Singers: The Ultimate Guide” (Yanow, Back Beat Books), Andrea is also recognized as a gifted songwriter: Cadence Magazine calls her "easily superior to the ever expanding population in the singer/songwriter category,” and she’s been awarded a number of composing fellowships.
