Free Music Notes for Shades of Bey

Free Music Review: A blending of Kevin Mahogany and Sinatra
Hit: 5 Stars

This CD is getting a lot of air time on KBEM in Minneapolis/St. Paul. When I heard "Like a Lover", I was compeled to call in to ask who the artist was. I was one of two calling in with that question. My words to the DJ, were, "Sounds like Kevin Mahogany, Who is it?" On the basis of that one cut, I've asked family members to add this CD to their Christmas list for me. There is a Sinatra quality to Bay's phrasing and range. One day after my call to KBEM, another caller requested to hear Bay and Mahogany back to back. If this cut on this CD doesn't give you goose bumps, check your pulse.

Shades of Bey Poster

Jazz vocalist Andy Bey didn't hold back in 1998, but he certainly knew the power of restraint. On Shades of Bey, he covers Thelonious Monk, Billy Strayhorn, even Nick Drake's "River Man" with his trademark baritone voice and a strikingly smooth delivery. No melismas here, Bey's tunes gradually unfold with a subtlety you never find in modern vocalists anymore. A great recording, and gorgeous tunes. --Jason Verlinde
As in previous recordings, Bey adds another "shade" to the genius of Billy Strayhorn with his beautiful voice-piano rendition of "Pretty Girl (The Star-Crossed Lovers)" and his spectral interpretation of "The Last Night of the Evening (Blood Count)." Bey also makes an appearance south of the border with his guitar-laced takes of "Drume Negrita (Afro-Cuban Lullaby)," and the Brazilian-blended ballad, "Like a Lover (O Cantador). Add the anthemic original "Believin' It (Half and Half)" and a heartening reading of Leonard Bernstein's "Some Other Time," and you have ample evidence that Andy Bey is simply the most exciting jazz singer of his generation. --Eugene Holley, Jr.
