Andy Bey is a commanding interpreter of lyrics who has a wide vocal range and a big, rich, full voice. He is that rare artist whose career extends over the decades when the American musical journey traversed Swing, Bebop, R&B, Rock and Roll and Hip Hop. Andy & The Bey Sisters were celebrated regulars at The Blue Note in Paris and other venues in Europe from the late 1950s into the early 1960s, until the trio disbanded in 1966. For the two decades thereafter, Bey recorded and performed with such notables as McCoy Tyner, Lonnie Liston Smith, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis, Eddie Harris, Gary Bartz and Horace Silver. Andy Bey's latest recording is a celebration of the American Songbook, "the standards". Andy Bey is one of the last major performers with a personal connection to the era convening with the icons of American Song, Ellington, Strayhorn, Mercer, Harburg, and Arlen reinvigorating the tradition.
