Album Notes

Andy Monroe's debut CD features his trademark soulful piano and soaring vocals.

Based on his years of improvisational work in New York's premiere dance studios (The Paul Taylor School, The Jose Limon Institute, The Alvin Ailey American Dance Center), JOYFUL NOISE: DISC ONE serves as an excellent tool for choreographers and dancers --- and a source of inspiration for any listener.

Andy adds layers of percussion, strings, horns and vocal harmonies to many of the cuts.

His sound has been compared to Pat Metheny Group, Belgian composer Wim Mertens and Brazilian recording artist Milton Nascimento.

But it is the way he mixes these and other influences --- from the rolling sweeps and swells of DEPARTURE, SEVENS, FIELDS and HORIZON to the starkness and stillness of PRAYER, ASHES and ARRIVAL and then back to the feel-good white light of SKINS, FLURRY and BREEZE --- that gives this album such a unique flavor.

Lush, passionate and upbeat, this album is sure to become a soundtrack for your life!

Andy Monroe is amazingly talented!

My dance teachers Andre Meguerdichian (Pardon my spelling) & Pablo Francisco Ruvalcalba use Andy's music during our Modern Dance Class. It is always such exhilarating music to hear! Someone will always ask who the music is by, and Andre will just go into how Andy use to play as an accompanist in the Jose Limon Dance company, and how all Andre needed to do was ask for a certain measure and beat , and Andy would be able to whip something up! I love the calm, yet energ feeling to it!!

I'm using this CD to teach elementary creative movement. The kids love it and it fills a gap left by a lot of the other music I use. It has a peaceful quality but is still interesting. Some songs are great for focused warm-ups, creating and improvising, and slower motor skills. Other songs have a great beat and energy for big across the floor movements. Love it - thanks!
