O’s Notes: This collection of solo piano works features Geri Allen, an accomplished musician who shines brightly during this performance. This is also an enhanced CD with 3 videos to accompany the content! The music was composed by Allen during her John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship from 4/08-4/09. While she drew heavily on influences from McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock and Cecil Taylor, Geri pours her own soul into each note resulting a truly inspirational set. We like the music as a soundscape for reflecting or just pure listening.
