After a long absence from recording Andy Bey returned to the studio for his HighNote debut in 2013 and the result, The World According to Andy Bey won a prestigious Academie Charles Cros Coups de Coeur Jazz Award and was a Grammy finalist. Insiders have always known about Andy Bey. Given his limited output of studio recordings, live performances were the source of Bey's reputation. Aretha Franklin has recalled the nights when Andy worked the Village in New York: Soon as I finished my gig I'd run over to hear him. Andy never got the recognition he deserved.
