Between 1968 and 1973 he was first choice as a studio singer for Max Roach, Duke Pearson, Horace Silver, Gary Bartz and Stanley Clarke, to mention but a few. His warm and engaging baritone voice easily crossed the bridge from conventional blues and gospel to a pugnacious, politicizing style of soul - Andy Bey was 'spiritual' in every sense of the word.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperience And Judgment, his debut album under his own name, was recorded in New York in 1973 and quickly became a cult album. Bey delivers twelve songs in single length, which are full of relaxed, funky grooves, soulful and electrifying, and quite lacking in gimmickry - in many of them a blues number is lurking in the background as a basic idea. His most important colleagues are Wilbur Bascomb, who lets his electric slap bass really thump out, and Bill Fischer who joins in on an electric piano, synthesizer and various other keyboards and really sets off a little fusion firework display. The most powerful numbers come from Andy Bey himself, such as \"Experience\", \"Judgment\", \"Celestial Blues\", \"Tune Up\" and \"Being Uptight\" - often powering forwards with a vengeance. Bill Fischer - at that time Artistic Director at Atlantic Records - added a few soul ballads to balance out the LP. This album inspired numerous jazz singers, including Gregory Porter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"What I love about Andy Bey is that he creates an atmosphere,\" says Jamie Cullum. \"As soon as he opens his mouth, you're transported to another place.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide One:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCelestial Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExperience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJudgment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Know This Love Can't Be Wrong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHibiscus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Should've Seen the Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide Two:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTune Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosemary Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeing Uptight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Place Where Love Is\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrust Us to Find the Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Power of My Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speakers Corner\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Experience Vinyl Preorder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51989736259869,"sku":"SSCQ1654.1","price":59.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2236\/3463\/files\/16euros1654__12652.jpg?v=1784053764","url":"https:\/\/experiencevinyl.com\/products\/bey-andy-experience-judgment-4260019716125","provider":"Experience Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
