Clunky Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Segments Live at the Village Vanguard What's your take on Geri ? Just picked up Maroons - very impressed all over again, I must dig out my other GA discs. Any recommendations regarding her more recent recordings. Of these three Vanguard gets the nod from me.

jlhoots Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) She's no slouch on the 2 quartet CDs with Ornette. Not exactly recent, but still great. Edited May 19, 2010 by jlhoots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Goren. Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 In general, every note she recorded worth listening.If youy like the trio with Haden & Motian, you must listen also to this one: Dont forget that this trio recorded also on Montreal Tapes series: If you are interested in her recent releases, I can recommend you to listen to her version of Zodiac Suite: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Saw her earlier this year with the "Charisma" Lee Morgan tribute - very impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Not easy to find anymore, but excellent: TRIANGULAR (Blue Note, 1989), released under drummer Ralph Peterson's leadership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I'm a big Geri Allen fan. It took a while, but I've learned to like her two most recent Telarc recordings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fomafomic65 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Not easy to find anymore, but excellent: TRIANGULAR (Blue Note, 1989), released under drummer Ralph Peterson's leadership. Yessir, that one's a bit of a gem! Great one indeed; I was lukcy enough to find a copy of it. Geri added some tasty acoustic piano solo (and less memorable synth) to the early Steve Coleman and Five Elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bill Barton Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Count me in as another big fan of Ms. Allen. Her recent Flying Toward the Sound solo piano disc on Motema is superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Basten II Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 (edited) We had a thread mentionning this fine offering Worth mentionning also is her work with the Charles Lloyd quartet. Edited May 23, 2010 by Van Basten II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
