 Hailed as a jazz pianist/composer who "dares to follow
an unmarked road”
(The New York Times) and honored for her “devotion to the
swinging roots of jazz”
(LA Times), Allen's recordings, including
The Nurturer
and the recently released
Timeless Portraits and Dreams, prove that she's
worthy of her many awards.
Since 1982, she has recorded or performed with musicians as
diverse as Charles Lloyd (with whom she has toured for several years), Mal
Waldron, Sir Simon Rattle, Vernon Reid, Clark Terry, George Shirley, Ron
Carter, Mary Wilson and the Supremes, Betty Carter, Oliver Lake,
Marianne Faithful and Charlie Haden among others.

"Geri Allen is a thoroughly modern
jazz pianist and composer who has a deep respect for her roots and predecessors…While respecting the tradition, Allen
shows here that she remains an adventurous open-minded spirit who embraces a
variety of styles and charts out new musical territory.”
