With the release of ‘Tatoom - Music for Steel Orchestra,’ Andy Narell continues his extraordinary musical journey. With his 13th solo album, plus 2 as co-leader of the Caribbean Jazz Project (w/Paquito D'Rivera and Dave Samuels), and 2 with Sakésho (w/Mario Canonge, Michel Alibo, and Jean Philippe Fanfant), he is once again taking the sound of the big steelband into uncharted jazz territory - with special guests Mike Stern, David Sanchez, and Luis Conte.
Andy has played and recorded with artists as diverse as Chucho Valdes, Bela Fleck, Marcus Miller, Angelique Kidjo, Toto, Nancy Wilson, David Rudder, Dr. Billy Taylor, Irakere, Tito Puente, Flora Purim and Airto Moreira, Vince Mendoza and The WDR Big Band(Koln), Maraca, and the Kronos String Quartet. He has performed on movie scores by James Horner, Maurice Jarre, Elmer Bernstein, Hans Zimmer, Michel Colombier, and Thomas Newman, and his compositions have been featured in the film The Firm, and tv shows like Designing Women and Going to Extremes, as well as commercials for Apple Computers, Sony, Porsche, and Southwest Bell.
As a bandleader he has played hundreds of concerts and jazz festivals throught the USA, Canada, Europe, Japan, the Caribbean, South America, and South Africa.
In 1999 Andy became the first foreigner to compose for Trinidad's Panorama steel band competition, guiding the 100 player Skiffle Bunch Steel Orchestra to the finals of both the 1999 and 2000 Panoramas.
He has been an artist in residence at North Texas St. Univ., Wichita St. Univ., Univ. of West Virginia, Univ. of Akron, Univ. of Illinois, Northern Illinois Univ., Miami Univ., Univ. of Southern Mississippi, and many other schools.
Andy is currently living in Paris and working with Sakésho, and the Andy Narell Steelband Project.
