'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"
