Andy Mckee Tickets

Andy Mckee

Jazz music has been around since the early 1900s, when it developed in New Orleans, Louisiana.New Orleans lends its melting pot appeal and unique flavor to style, which incorporates a variety of instruments including clarinets, drums, saxophones, trombones, and trumpets. One of the most famous American jazz musicians was Louis Armstrong, and some popular contemporary jazz musicians include Kenny G. and Andy Mckee.

Blues got its name from its extensive use of blue notes that are common across both jazz and blues music. Blues emerged in the latter parts of the 19th century in African American communities in the southern United States. At first developing amongst agricultural workers, blues music eventually spread north and contributed to the creation of other genres such as rhythm and blues. Like jazz, blues music incorporates clarinets, drums, saxophones, trombones, trumpets, and other instruments along with vocals. Modern blues artists include Etta James, B.B. King, and Taj Mahal.

Artist Info

Jazz bassist Andy McKee is a journeyman performer, educator, and bandleader with a bevy of credits to his name. A Philadelphia native, McKee started out studying piano and saxophone, eventually settling on the bass in his teens. By his twenties he was touring Europe with Walt Dickerson, and in 1979 he joined drummer Philly Joe Jones for dates in the U.S. and Canada. In the early '80s McKee relocated to New York City, where he began a longtime association with drummer Elvin Jones. This led to stints in Europe with luminaries like Chet Baker, Mal Waldron, Michel Petrucciani, and others.
Returning to New York in the early '90s, McKee joined the Mingus Big Band, with which he would work for over ten years, appearing albums like Nostalgia in Times Square (1993), Gunslinging Bird (1995), Que Viva Mingus! (1997), and Blues & Politics (1990). He also built a steady list of sideman credits during this period, appearing on recordings by Steve Grossman, the Jack Wilkins-Kenny Drew Quartet, Hank Jones, and others. Since 1993 McKee has taught at New York's New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music.
As a leader, McKee made his debut in 1997 with Sound Roots, alongside Ed Cherry, Alex Foster, Ryan Kisor, and Billy Kilson. He then returned in 2002 with One World, which featured appearances from Foster, Idris Muhammad, Joe Locke, Badal Roy, Milton Cardona, and Kenny Werner. Also during this period, he recorded several albums with the Latin jazz outfit Trio Mundo, earning a Grammy nomination for 2002's Carnaval. In 2013 he collaborated with an all-star group of musicians including René Bottlang, Oliver Lake, Vic Juris, and Billy Hart on Autumn in New York. The following year he appeared on arranger Jack Cooper's large ensemble recording Mists: Charles Ives for Jazz Orchestra on Planet Arts Records.
