As spontaneous & effortless as it felt to record this music at Van Gelder's studio, it involved great effort and was a long time in the making. For Cory Weeds, it was years of hard work building his Cellar Music label and forging relationships with some of the jazz world's best players. And for Mike Allen, it involved years of developing a personal trio concept with the help of many collaborators.
Spare, elegant, melodic, soaring, fierce - Vancouver's Mike Allen has arrived as the country's top jazz saxophonist.
(Ottawa Citizen)
Allen's tone is as pure as that of Joe Henderson. His aesthetic habits come straight out of a blue-chip tenor tradition: from Joe Lovano back to Coleman Hawkins and into his primary inspiration, John Coltrane.
(Vancouver Sun)
An accomplished musician who has studied Coltrane in depth and forged a style that is fresh and vital.
(Jazz Journal International)
Allen's true strength is his ability to pace and phrase his solos in a way that draws a listener into the music.
(Planet Jazz)
