Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.

Though the term 'visionary' is rather overused, it certainly applies to tenor saxophonist and composer JD Allen. A musical sponge of sorts, Allen is a remarkable amalgam of a wide variety of musical styles and influences, blurring the boundaries of contemporary jazz by creating a dynamic fusion of tradition and modernity. There is a decidedly 'third stream' quality to Allen's compositions, combining as they do advanced classical compositional techniques, the incorporation of electronic sounds and the distillation of historic jazz genres such as call and response, field hollers and, of course, the blues.

This type of music relies on the total dedication of all the performers and Allen's latest recording features three of his regular colleagues, the acoustic and electric basses of Gregg August and Ian Kenselaar and the remarkably expressive drummer, Nic Cacioppo. These men have worked with Allen on his previous Savant recordings, perhaps most notably on the unofficial trilogy of 'Americana', 'Americana Vol. 2' and 'Barracoon', and can be considered kindred spirits with their leader.

Together, they delve into themes of culture and history, offering moving narratives through their sophisticated approach and profound improvisational skills.
