Tony Allen in Göttingen: ©Jörg Linnhoff Tony Allen on stage: There is no chance not to think at Art Blakey! I saw Art Blakey in the nieneties with Wallace Roney, Julian Priester, Javon Jackson, Benny Green and Peter Washington. Art Blakey was visibly impressed by Benny Green's playing. On the other side Tony Allen: A stoic poker face! But there was a certain 'messenger feeling' by Nicolas Giraud (tp) and Yann Jankielewicz (ts), responsible for the compositions and arrangements. But what a change with Tony Allen when he played after all 'Moanin' as encore from his vinyl „A Tribute To Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers“ (Blue Note France 5781091, 2017)! Long-lasting applause by the audience - live is live! CD-insert of „The Source“ (Blue Note France 5781091) with autographs of Indy Dibonge, Nico Giraud, Yann Jankielewicz and Tony Allen.

! As LP in my shelf.
