Rutgers IJS Presents Andrea Brachfeld

Andrea Brachfeld brings her vibrant flute voice back to the Newark and NYC scene on April 24 with a special performance at Clements Place Jazz, joined by her longtime musical partners Bill O’Connell (piano), Harvie S (bass), and Jason Tiemann (drums). From 7:30 to 10:00 PM, audiences can expect an evening of deep swing and the kind of musical chemistry that only comes from years of collaboration.

Andrea Brachfeld is an award‑winning flutist, composer, and bandleader known for her brilliant tone, fearless improvisation, and deep roots in both Latin jazz and straight‑ahead traditions. A pioneering voice on her instrument, she has performed internationally and recorded extensively, earning recognition as one of the most influential flutists in modern jazz.

Bill O’Connell is a master pianist and composer whose career spans work with jazz legends, Latin jazz innovators, and top contemporary ensembles. Known for his powerful touch, rhythmic sophistication, and genre‑blending creativity, he brings a dynamic, harmonically rich voice to every performance.

Harvie S is a celebrated bassist, composer, and educator whose warm tone and deep musical intuition have made him a first‑call collaborator for decades. His work ranges from straight‑ahead jazz to Latin, fusion, and beyond, always anchored by impeccable groove and expressive melodic sensibility.

Jason Tiemann is a versatile and highly respected drummer known for his precision, swing, and sensitive musicality. Equally at home in modern and traditional jazz settings, he brings clarity, drive, and a deep sense of ensemble connection to every band he supports.
