Pianist
Geri Allen
has thus far been a very consistent performer, and all of her recordings are easily recommended. This particular set finds her in a trio with bassist
Ron Carter
and drummer
Tony Williams
performing six of her originals along with six jazz standards.
Allen
's style is fairly original, with hints of
Herbie Nichols
, and her chancetaking but logical solos are generally quite stimulating. ~ Scott Yanow
