Andy Narell introduced the steel drums to jazz as a solo instrument, playing not only Caribbean and Latin melodies but R&B, funk, and some straight-ahead jazz. After graduating from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1973, he founded the Hip Pocket label (which became associated with Windham Hill) and has recorded on a regular basis both as a leader and as a sideman ever since. In 1995, Andy Narell became a co-leader of <a href="spotify:artist:0H895uoamTDU0A9OH73CMT">the Caribbean Jazz Project</a> along with <a href="spotify:artist:30Mx3ZadPgGZTcs38FvYP8">Paquito d'Rivera</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1fjoiNdVaX2czZSeiFLuCM">Dave Samuals</a>, a perfect outlet for his virtuosic and colorful playing. Since that time, Narell has released a handful of recordings including, among others, Live in South Africa in 2001, Passage in 2004, and Tatoom in 2007. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
