"Andrea Kuzmich's songSCAPIN' is flipping the script again, this time with a classic jazz quartet. Expect an evening of boundary-crossing folk-jazz fusion, rich vocal textures and visceral sonic discovery. Andrea — vocalist, guitarist, composer, ethnomusicologist, and educator — bridges the freedom of jazz with the rich vocal polyphonic singing traditions of Georgia and Ukraine, inviting listeners into an organic, immersive musical experience where the line between performers and audience may disappear.
