Songfacts Podcast | Andy James Interview

In this episode, we're interviewing the talented jazz vocalist and songwriter Andy James. Known for her expressive phrasing and flamenco-inspired flair, Andy has carved out a unique space in contemporary jazz —and her latest album, Happy People, is a radiant, genre-blending celebration of just that: joy, connection, and groove.

Andy’s musical journey has taken her across the globe and into the studio with some legends, including the late, great jazz icon Chick Corea, who she was a close collaborator with.  Whether she’s interpreting a classic or crafting original compositions, Andy brings both soul and technical brilliance to everything she does.

We talk about the inspiration behind Happy People, her songwriting process, and what blending jazz and flamenco has taught her as a musician.
