There is a great musician in New York who has as his bio three words: blah blah blah. Inside this sarcasm there is wisdom, the recognition that describing the work of a musical artist in a couple hundred words is about as easy as picking up mercury. And yet it must be done. Continue reading →

Andrea Brachfeld, LADY OF THE ISLAND

“Wish it – dream it – do it.” That’s what one of my many car bumper stickers say . Why am I talking about my bumper stickers? Well, because my dream has always been to play jazz, and this record is my dream come true! I just didn’t expect such amazing musicians to play on my record, but here they are, and here I am!
