First-time-on-vinyl issue of Andy Bey's underrated 1998 album, 'Shades Of Bey', following his previous, classic album debut, 'Experience And Judgment' some 20+ years earlier.
This album showcases his four-octave range, the intimacy of love songs and raw power of the blues on a mixture of standards ('Pretty Girl', 'Some Other Time'), Latin ('O Cantador', 'Drume Negrita'), modern (Nick Drake’s, 'River Man'), and some original tunes. Available for the first time on vinyl, cut at 45rpm, it features Andy on vocals and on piano, with appearances from Gary Bartz and Geri Allen.
