On Little Things Run The World, bassist Ben Allison pushes the boundaries once again--this time with a cinematic, rock-meets-Americana sound that defies easy classification. Allison and his band “Man Size Safe" blend the borders of rock and jazz with six of the bassist's new original compositions plus guitarist Steve Cardenas' “Language of Love" and a rendition of John Lennon's “Jealous Guy." Pieces such as the title track and “Respiration" reveal Allison's adventurous writing, colorful melodic voicings, hypnotic grooves and a remarkable ensemble. The band mixes joyous exuberance and good-humored irreverence with textured grooves and an occasional political jab.

Called “one of today's best young jazz musicians" by the Boston Globe, Allison is a “visionary composer, adventurous improviser, and strong organizational force [and] has emerged as a rising star over the past decade" --Jazz Times
