Geri Allen & Timeline Live

Geri Allen & Timeline Live

This incendiary group gains standing ovations with their unique act that speaks the language of tap, drumming, and the street within the totally embracing context of Allen's deep in-the-pocket, groove-oriented jazz. Allen is one of the most respected pianists of her generation, with scans of over 36,000 units as a leader. * Geri Allen and her youthful group TIMELINE stand at the leading edge of a current, hip trend to include tap in jazz performances. Tap percussionist Maurice Chestnut, a protÃ©gÃ© of tap icon Savion Glover, proves himself to be one of the most innovative practitioners of his discipline, and a musician of the highest order. * More than just a jazz band, this project galvanizes audiences and has a strong youth appeal, which has great potential to achieve widespread viral online and word-of-mouth marketing. * Allen remains a consistent presence on the international performance circuit, with new dates coming in regularly. She has conducted annual weeklong engagements at the prestigious Village Vanguard and Iridium clubs in NYC and has performed at countless major venues including Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center and The Black Congressional Caucus Gala. * This release is being cross-promoted with Geri Allen's March solo piano release, Flying Toward The Sound. The publicity campaign is featuring both releases simultaneously to emphasize the extraordinary virtuosity and diversity of Allen's career, which is making a quantum leap at this time. As these are her first releases in several years, and both are unique, major attention is expected in both jazz and African American lifestyle press.
