Eddie Allen Aggregation Big Band Wednesday, October 29 9:00PM & 11PM Allens control of the timbers, from guttural moans to clarion peals, and his ability to squeeze whimpers out of brass and hurl them at the listener, marks him as a horn man to watch. W. Royal Stokes-The Washington Post ...Bracingly vivid trumpeter... Howard Mandel-The Village Voice (N.Y.C.) His conception and phrasing recall Lee Morgans command of the latin idiom. Keith Raether-The News Tribune (Seattle) ...he screams and screeches, taunts and teases, growls and groans, sneaks and snakes. Gil Sokolow-The I.A.J.R.C. Journal A fullness replete with soft tone-edges and great leaping ability makes Allen interesting and worth a listen. Andy Bartlett-Cadence Magazine Allens trumpet and flugelhorn playing is marked by a playful inventiveness underscored by a slightly husky, almost vocal, tone and use of such swing trumpet strategies as smears, growls and glisses. George Kanzler-The Star Ledger (Newark, N.J.) Allen displays wit, charm, and true soul amidst the bristling themes and exposes fine sensitivity in the more harmonious passages. Sid Gribetz-JazzTimes
