Ashley Kahn of NPR, writes, "It’s said that if you truly want to hear a musician’s talent, slow down the tempo. Andy Bey sings some of the slowest tempos today: Listening to him is like looking over a master artist’s shoulder as he meticulously applies paint to a canvas. But Bey isn’t just about singing slowly — and calling him simply a jazz singer misses the point. There’s the passion of gospel in his baritone, plus an operatic sense of drama." After a long absence, jazz singer and pianist Andy Bey is back with a delightful new album, "Ain’t Necessarily So."
Click below to listen to a clip of "Celestial Blues," and here to listen to the full story, as well as three full songs by this jazz master. I highly recommend the title track.
Enjoy!
