Allen's newest solo jazz CD “Ritzville” features the legendary Chick Corea and Stanley Clarke along with L.A. stars Mike Miller (guitar), Ronald Bruner (drums), Reggie Hamilton (bass) and Portland’s Darrell Grant (piano). The track list includes 11 lavishly produced original jazz tunes, 5 of which are elegantly enhanced with the addition of Seattle studio string artists. Allen’s shining sound and musical creativity lead the stellar ensemble as he performs on trumpet, flugel horn and piccolo trumpet. “Ritzville” is a fun, happy and uplifting recording of straight ahead jazz, melodic fusion and funk we’re sure you’ll enjoy.
