Andrea Brachfeld hails from New Jersey. She tours with her group, Andrea Brachfeld and Insight, featuring Bill O’Connell, Harvie S, and with Jason Tiemann, The Bill O’ Connell Jazz Latin Quintet, featuring Andrea Brachfeld, Bill Connell, and the Afro Caribbean Ensemble (ACE), and  The Bill O’ Connell Quartet / Dave Valentin Tribute Band featuring Lincoln Goines and Robby Ameen where we recently came back from a tour in Japan playing at the Cotton Club. In June 2017, Andrea was awarded a grant from the prestigious organization, Chamber Music America and the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, to compose a new jazz work. Her CD, If Not Now, When? was released on Jazzheads in May of 2018, and reflects this new music. Her newest Brazilian project, Brazilian Whispers was released on Origin Records on January 17, 2020. It features Bill O’Connell, Harvie S, Jason Tiemann, Roni Ben-Hur, Lincoln Goines, T Portinho and Chembo Corniel playing mostly Antonio Carlos Jobim compositions along with three original compositions by myself and Bill.
