Okay, lets start with some unabashed gushing: we lurv Ben ALLISON. His
tuneful, big-eared, forward-THINKING COMPOSITIONS LURED A COUPLE OF US
BACK INTO JAZZ IN THE 90S, after wed shamefully drifted away. Weve
been avidly listening to his records (13 as a leader, 3 more as one of
the driving forces of the Herbie Nichols Project) for over twenty
years now, and theres not a weak one in the bunch. Action-Refraction
was justly named one of the Best Albums of 2011 (of any genre) by NPR;
his latest, Layers of the City, brings an edgy maturityand Jeremy
Pelt's slinky trumpetto ALLISON'S CINEMATIC SOUND. (Rising-star
cornetist Kirk Knuffke ably fills in for Pelt on this tour.) Join us
for our first-ever concert at ARCATA's hippest artists' space, THE
SANCTUARY!
