He got the position in 1982 and remained with Hubbard for eight years - also serving as the trumpeter's musical director and road manager. Allen says, "my ultimate goal is to get to a level like Art Blakey, Art Taylor, Elvin Jones and Billy Higgins and these cats who, every time they sit down behind a set of drums it's swinging

by Sanford Josephson
More than 100 vocalists competed in this year's Blues Alley Ella Fitzgerald Vocal Competition.
