Tenor saxophonist JD Allen is a combination of many musical styles, blurring the boundaries of contemporary jazz by creating a dynamic fusion of tradition and modernity. Allen's latest recording features three of his regular colleagues, the acoustic and electric basses of Gregg August and Ian Kenselaar and the fine drummer, Nic Cacioppo. These men have worked with Allen on many of his previous Savant recordings and together, they delve into themes of culture and history, offering moving narratives through their sophisticated approach and improvisational skills.
