Dave Allen Quartet
Mark Turner - sax Jeff Ballard - drums Drew Gress - bass Dave Allen - Guitar/compositions
April 20th 55 Bar 930 pm
“Allen has found a true voice, his effortless technique downplays the apparent complexity, paradoxically creating a cool surface sheen that has a white heat glowing beneath it...music that seduces both the body and mind--again and again." - All About Jazz
“Fiery and eloquent... daunting chops, a full-bodied tone and melodic sensitivity." -David Adler - Jazz Times Magazine
“There is a true sensuality to the guitarist's sound...unfolding his lines with an edge-of-your-seat stealth" -Jim Macnie, Village Voice
“Allen has what could be dubbed as “string-imagination," the ability to quickly form and rethink patterns like moving water--flowing, lucid and spontaneous, paired with superior comping skills--filling in the gaps with creative touches and chord-work." - Mark F. Turner - All About Jazz
“Real and Imagined" now available from Fresh Sound records.
