Andy Narell is in a whole category of his own along with his band mates. The music of Trinidad and Tobago fused with the sweet notes of cool jazz and delivered with unequaled steel drum dexterity.. This makes any level of stress vanish at quantum velocity!!
David . . . I could not agree with you more. I discovered Narrell many, many years ago with his Album HIDDEN TREASURES and have attempting to alert everybody i come across with his genius. He's ALWAYS BEEN a category unto himself . . . and it takes for one to completely open themselves to appreciate him . . . Listen every morning to COFFEE STREET with the UNT musicians . . . Cannot start my day without them . . . lol
Simply the Best of the Best.Real latin tropical fusion.Andy on The Steel Drum leading the Band is really good.Melodies and variations are very complex and he is very talentous.All the.musicians also are exceptional.Congartulaions .
I met and interviewed Andy Narell in 1984 while producing shows for Radio Bilingue, he had come into Fresno to perform and we gave him airtime. I think I still have the interview on cassette tapes. Amazed that he has been doing his creative genius on the steel drums🎉 Wow just great to hear this. I now help run that Latino owned radio Network. 😊
What a great show! Andy is a legend and played with just about everyone. Love the split screen footage so I can see what the drummer is doing. Solid player.
Cette pianiste , JANY, est est sublime, géniale...Elle est plus pianiste que chanteuse...Si elle veut réellement chanter ..... qu'elle chante pour les enfants...Ce n'est absolument pas , de ma part une dévalorisation , je sens qu'avec son PIANO et sa tendresse elle fera de merveilleuse musique.... merci andy toujours top
Originated in Trinidad, clearly one of the world's greatest musical innovative development, "De steelpan", and Andy does wonders with his extraordinary talent. And of course without saying, the accompaniment, fantastic job guys.
What a great show! Hope I got this right, here's the setlist: 0:00:00 Sugar for Pan [F. Henry] 0:09:04 Intro (?) 0:10:26 Kalinda 0:22:26 The Long Way Back 0:34:28 Coffee Street 0:49:49 Baby Steps 1:02:34 The Last Word (Oui Ma Chérie) 1:14:19 Blue Mazooka 1:27:45 Kon Djab Djigidji [Mario Canonge] 1:43:16 Abacoco Composed by Andy Narell except when noted
Yeah Andy is Phenomenal..... but all his accompaniment are absolutely off the Chart. Seriously, first the Beautiful Pianist started her “Solo”.... you my Lady are brilliant. Then along came the Drummer “Percussionist”... absolutely on time every time... awesome my friend. Then the replica of “Stanley Clarke”❤️
I got this Tonight Thursday, December 9th.,2021♫♪♫♫ in It's entirety . Man, It's Pure Sweetness ,from beginning to end. ♥ I Love It. Excellent Musicians.♫ ♪♫♫ Professionals All. (Yeah.!!!, for Brooklyn). I am in Brooklyn ,New York./// Thanks Gracias. ♥ A Bassist ♪♫.♫♫ and Double Bassist.
LOVE HIS ATTITUDE TO THIS GREAT INSTRUMENT, AND HIS BAND , ESPECIALLY HIS KEYBOARD PLAYER, HER SKATTING IS TOP CLASS THEN THE BASS, AND DRUMS, ALL CLASS PLAYERS. So many musicians these days ( showing my age) just do not know about light and shade. I hope I get to meet you one day and hear you play, and maybe talk to you about your craft. Thanks . My sister introduced me to you, but until I heard relator University of Calypso, I started digging . nice find.
Yeah so... pretty sure the pianist quoted mini snippets of "For Once In My Life" and "Rhapsody In Blue" over Coffee Street. I stumbled onto this video from a Heptones recording, and I haven't been able to break away!
You need to be sat there with a loooong Pina Colada!! I would like to hear Andy work with a drummer using brushes instead of sticks a la Modern Jazz Quartet to soften the attack during the low tempo tracks. I think it would work. By the way, I AM NOT criticising the drumming. As for Janysett I think she will soon rank alongside Ruben Gonzales, Chucho Valdes, Gonzalo Rubalcaba and Roberto Fonseca in the pantheon of Cuban pianissimo greats. By the way, whoever filmed this did it in the most appropriate and sympathetic manner possible. Kudos!!
Called Sugar for pan by Fitzroy Henry known by stage name in Trinidad and Tobago "The Mighty Terror" ... he is also called the golden voice of calypso music.
