Our Take

Geri Allen's latest album "Twenty One" is a delightful jazz romp through time and space. The legendary pianist showcases her virtuosity and versatility in this eclectic collection of songs that pay homage to her twenty-one years in the music industry.

From the moment the first notes of the opening track hit your ears, you can tell that Allen means business. Her playing is crisp, precise, and full of unexpected twists and turns. She effortlessly blends elements of bebop, funk, and even a touch of classical music to create a sound that is uniquely her own.

Throughout the album, Allen is joined by a stellar cast of musicians who help bring her vision to life. From the funky basslines of Esperanza Spalding to the soulful saxophone of Joe Lovano, each player brings their own flavour to the mix, adding layers of depth and complexity to the music.

But what truly sets "Twenty One" apart is Allen's ability to infuse each track with a sense of joy and playfulness. Whether she's tackling a traditional jazz standard or experimenting with a more avant-garde sound, there's a sense of fun and excitement that permeates every note.

In conclusion, "Twenty One" is a triumph for Geri Allen, showcasing her skills as both a pianist and a composer. With its infectious energy and captivating melodies, this album is sure to delight jazz fans of all stripes. So sit back, relax, and let Geri Allen take you on a musical journey unlike any other.
