STEEL PAN MASTER ANDY NARELL
AND CALYPSO LEGEND RELATOR
BRING JAZZ AND VINTAGE CALYPSO TOGETHER

Featuring Dario Eskenazi, Pedro Martinez, Gregory Jones, Mark Walker,
and Special Guest Paquito D’Rivera

With Andy Narell—who’s been playing calypso music from Trinidad since he was barely tall enough to reach the pan—it’s always been about expanding the role of the steelpan in jazz. Now, with the June 23, 2009 release of University of Calypso (HUCD3168) on Heads Up International, a division of Concord Music Group, Narell joins forces with calypso legend Relator to explore the role of jazz in vintage calypso. Together, they perform 15 classic compositions by Lord Kitchener, Lord Melody, Mighty Terror, Roaring Lion, Spider, and Relator, supported by a group of world-class Latin-jazz cats who can swing the calypso and blow le jazz hot. It’s been over 50 years since a major calypsonian went into the studio with a bunch of jazz players. This CD is cause for serious celebration!
