Hailed as one of the most accomplished pianists and educators of her time, Allen’s most recent position was as Director of Jazz Studies at the University of Pittsburgh.
Well versed in a variety of modern jazz styles from bop to free, Allen steers a middle course in her own music, speaking in a cultivated and moderately distinctive voice, respectful of but not overly impressed with the doctrine of conservatism that often rules the mainstream scene.
“Geri Allen could interpret the entire modern history of jazz piano in her improvisation. Geri’s broad musical intelligence and generosity made her a great connector for me. Not in the algorithmic sense of “If you like this musician, try this one.”
