Geri Allen: Timeless Portraits and Dreams
by Woodrow Wilkins
There's a certain purity, perhaps innocence, about jazz that's played without the bells and whistles of modern technology and untainted by commercial trappings. When that purity is combined with superb songwriting, you have the makings of a recording that will never sound old. So it is with Timeless Portraits and Dreams. A native ...
Geri Allen: Timeless Portraits and Dreams
by AAJ Italy Staff
Eleganza e raffinatezza sono le parole d’ordine di questo Timeless Portraits and Dreams, ultima fatica discografica di Geri Allen in trio (e che trio, Ron Carter al contrabbasso e Jimmy Cobb alla batteria!). Per la verità durante l’ora abbondante di musica, compresi i quattro minuti di un bonus disc?!, al trio della pianista di Pontiac si ...
The Mary Lou Williams Collective: Zodiac Suite: Revisited
by AAJ Italy Staff
Questa è un'opera importante, destinata a lasciare una traccia profonda nella discografia jazzistica del 2006. Nel riproporre la Zodiac Suite di Mary Lou Williams, la pianista Gery Allen e i suoi compagni del Mary Lou Williams Collective hanno scelto di concentrarsi sulle doti squisitamente pianistiche dell'autrice piuttosto che su quelle d'arrangiamento. Due potevano essere le strade ...
Geri Allen: The Life of a Song
by Francis Lo Kee
It's great to hear Geri Allen cut loose and play with abandon on this mostly trio effort (Mal Waldron's “Soul Eyes has trumpet, sax, and trombone briefly added). Hailing from Detroit and admittedly influenced by the Motown sound and feel, Allen plays with a refreshingly honest direction and immediacy. This particular trio, with Jack DeJohnette and ...

Geri Allen: The Life of a Song
by Jim Santella
Geri Allen's piano trio gives her plenty of room to navigate. With her first recording in six years, she's captivating and adventuresome in her approach. Allen, bassist Dave Holland and drummer Jack DeJohnette forge their reunion with broad strokes and sprightly melodies. A constant motion gives the session life. While the pianist's eight original compositions give ...
Geri Allen: The Life of a Song
by John Kelman
It's a safe bet to say that any good album will not only bear repeated listens, it will benefit by them, as hitherto unheard layers are revealed and subtle nuances are brought to light. But Geri Allen's new release, The Life of a Song , demands to be heard more than once because there is such ...
Geri Allen: The Life of a Song
by C. Michael Bailey
A couple of things come to mind when listening to this recording. One is that all three of the principals were linked professionally to Miles Davis. The rhythm section of Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette were part of Miles' monumental Bitches Brew sessions. Geri Allen's connection is a bit more out of the way in that ...
