As part of this year’s Earshot Jazz Festival, the JD Allen Trio performed at Poncho Hall at Cornish College in an amazing set that was one of the highlights of the festival in my book.
Hailed by the New York Times as “a tenor saxophonist with an enigmatic, elegant and hard-driving style,” JD Allen is a bright, rising light on today’s international jazz scene. His unique and compelling voice on the instrument – the result of a patient and painstaking confrontation with the fundamentals of the art – has recently earned Allen a blaze of attention.
