'Round Midnight by Andy And The Bey Sisters, released on Prestige in 1965..

Review by Steve Leggett

... In essence, the Bey trio sounded like a thinned-out and more jazzy, gauzy version of the Staple Singers. Highlights from this set are a wonderfully balanced version of Ray Charles' "Hallelujah, I Love Her So," a stirring take on Billie Holiday's "God Bless the Child," the ever expanding and ascending "Feeling Good," and a fine rendition of the title track, Thelonious Monk's "'Round Midnight," which has never been the easiest song in the world to sing effectively, but the trio nails it here in what might have been deemed a definitive version if it had actually been heard by more than a handful of people.

Now! Hear! by Andy And The Bey Sisters, released on Prestige in 1964

Review by Michael G. Nastos

Expressive vocalists hook up with Jerome Richardson (sax and flute), Kenny Burrell (guitar) for expansive treatments of jazz.

I love that the first lines of the liner notes for this LP from 1964 by Joel Dorn are

"We live in the age of the computer,. We have been area coded, zip coded and IBMed to the nth degree"

Andy And The Bey Sisters by Andy And The Bey Sisters, released on RCA Victor in 1961.

Produced by Chet Atkins!

Andrew Wideman Bey Jr. (October 28, 1939 – April 26, 2025) was an American jazz singer and pianist. Bey had a wide vocal range, with a four-octave baritone voice.

He worked on the 1959/1960 television show Startime with Connie Francis, and sang for Louis Jordan. At age 17, he formed a trio with his siblings Salome Bey and Geraldine Bey (de Haas) called Andy and the Bey Sisters. The trio went on a 16-month tour of Europe. The jazz trumpeter Chet Baker's 1988 documentary Let's Get Lost includes footage of Bey and his sisters delighting a Parisian audience... - Wikipedia

"I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree
A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
Against the earth's sweet-flowing breast;"

Dass die Cover Art bei #Spotify so vernachlässigt wird, ist einfach dermaßen armselig...
Nicht mal vergrößern kann man die Bilder, von eventuell ursprünglich vorhandenen Inlets etc. ganz zu schweigen.

Eines der besten Cover der Musikgeschichte (Mics are open, afficionados! 🤣)
