Alto saxist Kris Allen brings together a team of Carmen Staaf/p, Luques Curtis/b, Jonathan Barber/dr, Chris Dingman/vib and guests Michael Mayo-Shenel Johns/voc and Jeremy Pelt/tp for some flavorful originals. Pelt and Allen team up will for the reflective “I Have A Dream” and Mayo is soulful on “Trees” as Johns is cool around the vibes on “Morning”. Allen himself is confident on “Sunlight” and bops well over Barber’s beat on “Ember” and “June”. Well crafted brews.
