	Geri Allen & Timeline: Live (CD: Motema) Pianist Geri Allen is a true original. Rhythmically subtle yet startlingly provocative, Allen respects the jazz tradition, but refuses to be bound by it. 'Live' can best be described as a radical jazz and tap dance album and is the first "live" recording of Allen's career. 'Live' features her working quartet nimbly and ferociously interacting with each other, reinventing the dialogue between the dance and the drums. This extraordinary ensemble includes veteran bassist Kenny Davis, and brilliant new talents Kassa Overall on multi-percussion set and tap sensation Maurice Chestnut. In the last three decades Allen has amassed a stunning resume of musical collaborations including modern greats Charles Lloyd, Ron Carter, Tony Williams, Ornette Coleman and many others. Allen's excellent musicianship was internationally recognized in 1996 when she was the first woman to win the coveted Danish Jazzpar prize. (Proper Music) Price: £13.99


Geri Allen & Kurt Rosenwinkel: A Lovesome Thing (CD: Motema) This one-and-only recorded collaboration between jazz greats Geri Allen and Kurt Rosenwinkel took place live at the famed Philharmonie de Paris in 2012. The two play as if with one mind. Geri spoke often of her desire to do a studio recording to document the ‘flow and freedom’ she experienced playing with Kurt that night in Paris. Unfortunately, we lost her before that studio session ever materialized, but fortunately, that concert was recorded. The acoustics in the hall are magnificent. Produced by Kurt Rosenwinkel and Motéma’s Jana Herzen and dedicated to Geri’s memory, this album is truly a ‘lovesome thing’ for fans of Geri, of Kurt, and of piano and guitar jazz fans at large.
