Geri Allen on Jazz Police
As a gifted composer and improviser who stretches the envelope while respecting tradition, Geri Allen has already made an indelible mark on modern jazz. In particular, her new release, Timeless Portraits and Dreams (Telarc), seems a natural follow-up to Zodiac Suite Revisited by bringing together the spiritual roots of jazz and her trademark innovative compositions and arrangements. It was, in fact, Allen's intent to highlight the spiritual, historical and artistic connections that define jazz. This week marks the official release and celebration of this unique recording, with Geri Allen and her trio on stage at the Village Vanguard, August 22-27.
