Andrew Shapiro Sextet: Expanding the Score

Jazz Saxophonist Andrew Shapiro is thrilled to present “Expanding the Score”, a genre-bending project that proposes a new perspective on what we consider a “jazz standard through” the lens of modern and contemporary musical theatre. Showcasing the excellence of both vocalist and instrumentalist alike, the project aims to explore the musical works from composers such as Stephen Schwartz, Anaïs Mitchell, Stephen Sondheim, and Duncan Sheik, expanding the traditional jazz repertoire by drawing from theatrical works that are foreign in today’s jazz idiom.
Alongside this contemporary material, “Expanding the Score” revisits overlooked songs from the “Golden Era” of musical theatre from works by Kurt Weill, and Harold Arlen and are reimagined through fresh arrangements by Andrew Shapiro and Andre Perlman.
The ensemble transforms these pieces into a vivid sense of the “now,” using harmony, rhythm, narrative, and emotional depth that places the listener in the present moment. “Expanding the Score” restores the interplay and joy between vocalist and musician onstage, delivering a captivating and ephemeral performance for all who attend.
