cross border jazz Harry Allen with Tommy Banks Get ready for a special evening with a jazz master, tenor saxophonist Harry Allen! Respected jazz journalist, Gene Lees, writes,”Stan Getz was once asked his idea of the perfect tenor saxophone soloist. His answer was, ‘My technique, Al Cohn’s ideas, and Zoot’s time.’ The fulfillment of that ideal may well be embodied in thirty-year-old Harry Allen.” Well, he’s not thirty any more, but Allen’s musical talent is standing the test of time as he moves further into his 40s. Allen has performed at jazz festivals and clubs worldwide, frequently touring the United States, Europe and Asia. The Harry Allen - Joe Cohn Quartet won the New York Nightlife Award for Outstanding Jazz Combo Performance of 2006. The combo was also nominated for Best Jazz Combo in 2006 by the Jazz Journalists Association. Allen is a Swing Bros. recording artist, with over thirty recordings to his name. Three of his CDs have won Gold Disc Awards from Japan’s Swing Journal Magazine. His CD “Tenors Anyone?” won both the Gold Disc Award and the New Star Award. Allen’s 1998 recording “Eu Nao Quero Dancar” (I Won’t Dance) earned second place as album of the year in a reader’s poll conducted Swing Journal Magazine. 6 March/April 2009 Allen has performed with Rosemary Clooney, Ray Brown, Hank Jones, Frank Wess, Flip Phillips, Scott Hamilton, Harry ‘Sweets’ Edison, Kenny Burrell, Herb Ellis, John Pizzarelli, Bucky Pizzarelli and a host of others. He is featured on many of John Pizzarelli’s recordings and has also recorded with the likes of Tony Bennett, Johnny Mandel, Ray Brown, Tommy Flanagan, James Taylor, Sheryl Crow, Kenny Barron, Dave McKenna, Dori Caymmi, Larry Goldings, George Mraz, Jake Hanna and Al Foster. Allen was born in Washington D.C. in 1966, and currently resides in New York City. when...
