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.

Due potevano essere le strade ...

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).

While the pianist's eight original compositions give ...

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 ...
