Andy Narell is the
Jimmy Smith of the steel drums, an innovative player who has been responsible for introducing his instrument to jazz. On this CD
Narell shows off the surprising versatility of his instrument, not only playing spirited Latin jams and calypsos but also heartfelt ballads and more complex works. The lively yet diverse date is a strong example of
Andy Narell's talents.
